PHUKET: The Phuket Regional Blood Center (PRBC) issued an appeal this morning (Feb 14) for donations of O-negative blood due to a shortage of supplies.

 

“We need O-negative blood after a patient who was involved in an accident required an urgent operation at Bangkok Hospital Phuket,” said a supervisor at PRBC who asked not to be named.

 

“Donations of all blood are welcome. However, right now there is a shortage of specifically O-negative blood,” she added.

Indeed, 'O' negative is the universal donor. Problem is they can only receive 'O' negative. It is not a common blood group.

Whilst 'O' positive which is a much more common blood group can be given to everyone except sadly 'O' negative recipients.
