Ghana joins the rest of the world on Monday, June 14, to commemorate World Blood Donation Day.
The Day seeks to appreciate voluntary and unpaid blood donors for their benevolent gesture.
It is also a day to raise awareness on the need for regular donations to ensure access to affordable and timely supplies of safe and non-infectious blood to patients suffering from life-threatening conditions.
To mark the day, GBC News spoke to a cross section of the public on their views about blood donation.
