June 14 marks the day when thousands of people all around the world
are taking part in various events and campaigns highlighting the need
to regularly give blood to prevent shortages in hospitals and clinics.
Million people everywhere are improving the health of others by
donating blood. In 2005 World Health Organisation (WHO), gathered
together ministers of health from different countries who chose 14 June
as the day to recognize the promotion of this cause all over the world.
A growing number of countries have formed Club 25 or Pledge 25
programmes for young voluntary blood donors who make a commitment or
'pledge' to donate blood regularly and to maintain positive, healthy
lifestyles. Armenia's office of the Club 25 has been acting since
2007, contributing to give blood actions in the country. Thanks to
the organisation, a number of blood donors increased in Armenia.
Press Office of the young wing of the Republican Party of Armenia
said that June 14 is an occasion for activists from Club 25 and
the All Armenian Youth Foundation to organise a special campaign
to improve the public awareness of the World Blood Donor Day. The
event will be followed by an awarding ceremony during which those who
regularly become unpaid donors and organised mass actions in support
the campaign will be honored. The list of honored donors is signed
by county's ministers of health, and education and science.
Passports of donors will also go to Armenia's Minister of Health,
Minister of Education and Science, leader of the Youth wing of the
Republican Party of Armenia and some media.
