June 14, 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of
World Blood Donor Day. This special day is an opportunity to thank blood donors
around the world for their regular life-saving contributions, and to honor them
for the significant impact they have on patients and other donors. The World
Health Organization, its partners and communities around the world will unite
around the theme "20 years of celebrating blood donation: thank you to all
donors".
In Togo, the Centre National de Transfusion
Sanguine (CNTS) will once again be at the center of this year's event. In
collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene, the CNTS is
organizing a blood donation campaign across the country on June 13 and 14. In
Lomé, the CNTS is inviting anyone wishing to take part in this generous act to
visit its center in Tokoin Doumasséssé.
The CNTS is calling on the population to
come out in force to mark this day by donating blood, in order to help save
lives. All people aged between 18 and 60, weighing at least 50 kg and in good
physical health, are encouraged to take part in this precious act.
