The Ministry of Health and the Blood Centre are celebrating World Volunteer Blood Donor Day, which is established on 14 June each year. Its motto for 2022 is: "Donating blood is an act of solidarity. Be part of the effort, save lives."
Voluntary blood donation is undoubtedly the highest expression of solidarity and giving to our fellow man and a great practical act of love and humanity.
The Ministry of Health and the Blood Centre congratulate all volunteers, who over the years have demonstrated their feelings of altruism and solidarity for their suffering fellow man, making Cyprus one of the few countries whose blood needs are covered only by voluntary blood donors.
At the same time, we invite those who have not donated blood, especially young people, to come to the blood donation stations and donate 10 minutes of their time and 450ml of their blood, thus saving three lives.
