World Blood Donor Day 2023 will be observed on June 14, 2023.

It is international day organized by the World Health Organization to raise awareness about the importance of voluntary blood donation and to promote the need for safe blood and blood products.

People with chronic diseases or complications can benefit from donated blood in terms of treatment and support.

As we commemorate World Blood Donor Day and express gratitude towards the selfless blood donors who have saved countless lives, it is imperative that we also acknowledge the crucial aspect of blood safety. Though blood transfusions are lifesaving and promote wellness, many patients don't get timely access to safe blood. It's essential that a country's healthcare policy and infrastructure incorporates the provision of safe and sufficient blood in order to curb this issue.

Insufficiently tested blood and an unsafe transfusion process can result in transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs) such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and C, among others, which could endanger the patient's life. To guarantee the safety of blood donations, thorough screening is the best approach. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that all donations be screened for infections before being used, with mandatory testing for HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis. Understanding the blood types of donors is also crucial, as transfusions are most secure when the blood type and Rh status of the transfused blood match those of the recipient (i.e., when the blood types are compatible).

InTec, an industry leader in the in-vitro diagnostics market, specializes in infectious disease diagnostics with a focus on point-of-care screening. Its comprehensive solution enables the screening of donated blood, including products for HIV (CE & WHO pre-qualified) testing, HCV (CE & WHO pre-qualified) testing, Hepatitis B testing, and Syphilis (TP) testing, to reduce the risk of transfusion-transmissible infections in blood recipients. In addition, InTec has recently introduced a new and improved ABO and RhD blood grouping test kit, which greatly simplifies the process of blood typing screening.
