Why World Organ, Tissue and Transplant Donation Day is commemorated every October 14
The objective of this date is to encourage the act of donation to save a life in need. There are no records of why October 14 was chosen as a special date nor a statement from the World Health Organization. But it coincides with the European Day of Organ Donation and Transplantation, which is celebrated every second Saturday in October.
In order for the date to remain fixed, in Argentina it was decided to establish October 14 as an immovable day for the anniversary, but this is not the case in the rest of the world. However, in many countries it is still used to spread and raise awareness about the possibilities of saving lives through this action.
