PHUKET:-- The Phuket chapter of the Red Cross together with the Phuket Regional Blood Centre (PRBC) and Vachira Phuket Hospital blood bank held an event to mark World Blood Donor Day today (June 14).
 

The global day organised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) is marked worldwide every year to thank and honor blood donors, especially regular blood donors, to mark their sacrifice without expecting anything in return.

 

This year the global day is being held under the slogan "Safe blood for all”, for both blood donors and the recipients.

Thailand protects it's citizens by disallowing "old people" from giving blood.  Sort of disingenuous when you hear that Type <whatever> is in critical shortage and donors are desperately need.
"Hi, I'm here to give blood."
'You old person.  Go away.  No want old people blood.'

Elsewhere in the world if you are healthy, age is not a factor.
