Today's campaign is a meaningful topic for all of us with the main purposes are to:

• Build a habit and culture of voluntary blood donation and encourage all people to participate in blood donation activities with the National Blood Transfusion Service across the country in order to ensure adequate blood supply for patients' needs of blood in all hospitals without discrimination, racism, religion, and tendency.
• Link voluntary blood donation activities to good humanitarian activities in society.

On this occasion, I would like to inform about the situation of blood demand in 2023 that we needed a bag of blood to save the patient's life in every 5 minutes. Daily blood demands were around 300 to 350 bags in Phnom Penh and 143,143 bags across the country; however, the National Blood Transfusion Center could cover around 75% of the country's blood supply. By the way, receiving the voluntary and free blood donations were only 19.5% of the total blood demands in the country, while in other neighboring countries, the voluntary blood donations could supply over 90% of total demands, according to WHO data."
