Conosci Kenketsu Kinenbi? Do you know 献血記念日?
===================================
Il 21 agosto e' il Giorno della donazione del sangue (献血記念日 Kenketsu
Kinenbi)
Nata 1964 a seguito della creazione di una banca del sangue nazionale
con lo scopo di sensibilizzare la popolazione giapponese riguardo
l'importanza delle trasfusioni durante le operazioni chirurgiche.
-----------------------
1964(昭和39)年、それまでの売血制度をやめ、
全ての輸血用血液を献血により確保する体制を確立するよう閣議で決定されました。売血常習者の血液は血球が少なく血漿部分が目立つため「黄色い血」と呼ばれていました。この血液は、輸血しても効果がなく、また、輸血後に肝炎等の副作用を起こしがちだったため、大きな社会問題となっていました。1974(昭和49)年に民間商業血液銀行が預血制度を廃止したことにより、全てを献血で確保する体制が確立しました。

Kenketsu kinenbi: Anniversary of Blood Donation
21 August 1964 the cabinet decided to establish the system of securing
blood for transfusion not by buying blood but by donating blood. Sold
blood was called "Yellow blood" because they had fewer corpuscles and
more blood plasma. Those blood were not effective and tend to cause side
effects such as hepatitis after transfusion. Therefore this was a big
social problem.
In 1974 Blood Banks stopped keeping blood, and the system to secure all
blood by donation was established.
