(1888PressRelease) June 17, 2017 - The theme for this year is Give Blood. Give Now. Give Often. The focus on blood donation in emergency situations. The first response when an emergency happens is "What Can You Do?" and the answer is "Give Blood. Give Now. Give Often" which is taken by World health Organization.

Mr Kamboj explained that Blood is an important resource, both for planned treatments and urgent interventions. It can help patients suffering from life-threatening conditions live longer and with a higher quality of life, and supports complex medical and surgical procedures. Blood is also vital for treating the wounded during emergencies of all kinds (natural disasters, accidents, armed conflicts, etc.) and has an essential, life-saving role in maternal and perinatal care.

Blood transfusion is an essential component of emergency health care. Emergencies increase the demand for blood transfusion and make its delivery challenging and complex. Adequate supply of blood during emergencies requires a well-organized blood service, and this can only be ensured by engaging the entire community and a blood donor population committed to voluntary unpaid blood donation throughout the year.

Certain objectives that he explained where as follow:
-to encourage all people to strengthen the emergency preparedness of health services in their community by donating blood;
-to engage authorities in the establishment of effective national blood donor programmes with the capacity to respond promptly to the increase in blood demand during emergencies;
-to promote the inclusion of blood transfusion services in national emergency preparedness and response activities;
-to build wider public awareness of the need for committed, year-round blood donation, in order to maintain adequate supplies and achieve a national self-sufficiency of blood;
-to celebrate and thank individuals who donate blood regularly and to encourage young people to become new donors as well;
-to promote international collaboration and to ensure worldwide dissemination of and consensus on the principles of voluntary non-remunerated donation, while increasing blood safety and availability.

From Mr Mohit Kamboj speech he made his aim to spread awareness about blood transfusion and the necessity for welfare of society.
