Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: Donating Blood Saves Lives

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus shared a post on X:

“Donating blood saves lives.

While the need for blood is universal, access to blood is not. Many countries experience shortages.

On the 20th anniversary of World Blood Donor Day, thank you to everyone who has given – and still gives – blood.

And thank you to the health workers, blood transfusion services and civil society partners who support blood donation.”
