Urgent Need for A Negative Blood

[Sheryl]

If you have blood type A neg and are eligible to donate (see below) please contact the nearest branch of the Thai Red Cross (any province) and donate.

 

Stocks countrywide are currently reported to be zero and the wife of a TV member is in need of blood.

 

Donor eligibility:

 

- age under 55 or already donated blood in Thailand

- lived in Thsiland for at least 6 months

- did not live in UK between 1980 - 1996

 

It would be useful (but not essential) if donors  could PM me the details after donating (province name)

[Lorry]

The French embassy used to have a list of donors. 

If I remember correctly,  the person who updated the list was Louise.

 

This information is more than 10 years old, I will try to get more information tomorrow.

Not exactly. It can be used as a last redort but type specific is better.

Only for platelets, not whole blood.

Sheryl, thank you for this. 

 

The doctor now confirms that the blood for my wife can best be donated directly at Hua Hin Hospital, contact their blood bank before noon for same day donation. Thai Red Cross also of course for people who can not come to Hua Hin.

No that is a universsl recipient. 

 

Far from a universal donor. In fact can donate only to peoplw who are also AB+

 

"Universal donor" is O-. 

 

However type specific blood is preferred abd use if O neg blood is reserved for extreme emergencies.

UPDATE 

 

Three units have been donated so far, which 'should' be enough to give time for the bone marrow to start producing cells again. 

 

It's better not to have too many donations at one time and possibly waste a vital resource, as blood only keeps for around 30 days in storage. 

 

Having said that, I know Bumrungrad were also looking for A- blood last week but I don't know how much. 

 

Thanks so much to everyone who showed an interest in my wife's troubles. ????????????????????????

 

If more need arises I will make a fresh post.

I'm sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. The group was very helpful, and English is used once you follow the instruction to go to their Line page (Line is a social media app, for those who don't use it). You can see the final result for my wife's appeal on the Facebook page you mention, in Thai and English.
