World Blood Donor Day Spotlight: Why Plasma Donation Is a Gift Like No Other

(BPT) - Each year on June 14, World Blood Donor Day highlights the extraordinary power of human generosity — honoring people whose selfless acts of giving make critical medical care possible for others around the world. While most people are familiar with the profound impact of donating whole blood, this day is also an opportunity to shine a light on an equally vital gift: donating plasma, the liquid portion of blood that remains after red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are removed.
