On 14 June 2023, Grenada joined over 150 countries around the world in celebrating World Blood Donor Day.
The slogan for this year is “GIVE Blood, give plasma, share life, share often.” This day provides a special opportunity to celebrate and to thank all of our blood donors around the world for their gift of blood.
Every single donation of blood is a precious lifesaving gift.
Like other countries, we in Grenada face the challenge of making sufficient blood available. We trust and pray that one day we will have our mobile blood transport unit in operation once again.
We thank all of our unsung heroes who donate blood and encourage more people to become new donors.
We also encourage more people in good health to donate blood regularly and as often as is safe and possible, to transform the quality of life for transfusion-dependent patients, and to help secure blood to those in need.
We also sincerely thank our Blood Procurement Officer Nurse Jolly, and all of our valuable voluntary donors and corporate sponsor, Carib Breweries Grenada Limited.
