Anyone know this guy ? I might be able to help, but not unless he contacts me. I sent him a message an hour ago. I have also sent an e-mail to the hospital.

As far as I know…once you reach the age of sixty in Thailand you are automatically disqualified as a potential blood donor.

 

And…I believe no exceptions are allowed to this rather archaic and essentially unnecessary rule. So if you need A- (a very rare blood type in Thailand as it is) you may have a problem finding a donor that meets the age criteria.

 

If someone knows differently…please correct me.

Can't any RH negative receive O-, termed the Universal Donor?

 

In a pinch yes (subject to cross-matching) but type specific is preferred.

 

in any case all types of RH neg blood, including O-, are rare in Thailand

If you have previously donated blood in Thailand you can continue to do so to age 70.

 

If first time, they won't accept past age 55

 

Ridiculous but that's the rule in Thailand

 

Most hospitals cannot do blood collection, it is centralized under the Thai Red Cross; there is a TRC office in Lopburi town

In Thailand: 

O-  0.20% of the population

A-  0.10%           -"-

I am A neg and once after a TVF appeal made a trip to the Red Cross in Bangkok only to be knocked back because of my age. I was not pleased. And the lady in charge was not pleased with my attitude. A pleasant feeling of self-righteous indignation all round. 

 

Hope the gentleman gets sorted.

I’m A-, but as I’m over 60 the Red Cross or hospitals will not accept someone of that age as a donor. I tried before in a similar situation.

Hope you find someone to help out.
