Islamabad: President Dr Arif Alvi has urged all healthy adult men and women in the country to donate blood as frequently as possible, as an act of piety to save lives.
He made the appeal in his message on the occasion of World Blood Donor Day, being observed today.
The President said regular blood donation by a sufficient number of healthy people is needed to ensure its availability whenever and wherever it is needed.
World Blood Donor Day, an initiative by the World Health Organization (WHO) is being observed to spread awareness about the importance of blood donation.
