Thai Red Cross Launches Blood Donation Drive for Queen Mother’s Birthday
The Thai Red Cross Society is hosting a nationwide blood donation campaign throughout August to honor Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother.
According to Khaosod Online, the National Blood Centre of the Thai Red Cross Society has initiated a special blood donation campaign titled 'United Hearts of Thais' to commemorate the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, which coincides with National Mother’s Day on August 12.
Associate Professor Dr. Dujjai Chaiwanichsiri, Director of the National Blood Centre, noted that this year marks 70 years since Her Majesty assumed the role of President of the Thai Red Cross Society. The campaign serves as a tribute to her long-standing support for humanitarian efforts and blood donation services in Thailand. Participants in the program may receive commemorative 80th-anniversary postage stamps as a token of appreciation.
For residents and travelers, this initiative highlights a period of national significance. While the campaign is primarily a charitable effort, those interested in participating should be aware that blood donation centers may experience higher traffic during this month. It remains to be confirmed if specific donation sites will have extended operating hours or if the commemorative stamps are available in limited quantities at all regional branches. Visitors are encouraged to check with local Red Cross facilities for specific requirements and availability before planning a visit.
