Abstract: On a global scale, there is a pressing and continuous need for a diverse range of blood and its products to effectively respond to health challenges. As per the global mandate, the provision of safe and adequate blood has been acknowledged as an integral part of every nation’s healthcare policy. Nevertheless, as evident by the global scenario, we are falling short in the majority of healthcare facilities across low- and middle-income nations. Considering the present scenario, there is an immense need to plan and implement specific measures that can improve blood donation practices. The organization of blood donation drives in low- and middle-income nations might encounter a wide range of challenges relevant to all the involved stakeholders. In conclusion, blood donation has universal importance as it can save the lives of people who are in need. This calls for the indispensable need to identify the existing challenges and address them through a multifaceted approach, which essentially includes the involvement of external agencies and active community engagement for sustainable improvements.
