The day is marked to celebrate the voluntary, life-saving act of donating blood, an act that is unpaid, yet saves millions of lives across the world over, every year.
The day is also to raise awareness on the important of blood donation, and to ensure that everyone in need finds access to affordable, quality-assured and safe blood and blood products.
There will be several points to donate blood across the country on the day, and even before and after, so we’ve decided to collate the few we come across.
If you’re aware of any other, please do not hesitate to share in the comment section.
