The South-eastern Europe Health Network (SEEHN) proudly supports the celebration of World Blood Donor Day on 14 June 2025, joining the global call to action under this year’s inspiring theme: “Give blood, give hope: together we save lives.”
This powerful message highlights a simple yet life-changing act: giving blood. Voluntary blood donors offer more than just a medical resource—they give hope, restore dignity, and offer a second chance at life. Their selfless contributions are a testament to the values of community, solidarity, and shared responsibility that lie at the heart of resilient health systems.
SEEHN calls on governments, healthcare institutions, and civil society across the region to strengthen national blood systems, promote voluntary and unpaid blood donation, and build greater public awareness around the ongoing need for safe, regular blood donations.
Member States are encouraged to support this year’s campaign by organizing community outreach activities, launching educational initiatives, deploying mobile donation units, and publicly recognizing the vital role of regular blood donors. These efforts reflect SEEHN’s broader commitment to universal health coverage, cross-border cooperation, and stronger, more inclusive health systems across South-eastern Europe.
As we mark World Blood Donor Day, SEEHN extends sincere gratitude to all blood donors in the region. Together, we give blood. Together, we give hope.
