In a operation on September 16, the KA-32 of The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. (DDPM) part of The Ministry of Interior successfully transported rare blood type from Chiang Rai to Phichit province. This mission was initiated to assist volunteer rescuers who suffered severe injuries while returning from a rescue operation during the recent flooding in Chiang Rai.

 

The accident occurred as the volunteers were en route back after aiding victims of the flooding, resulting in three rescuers sustaining serious injuries that required immediate surgery. Thanks to the quick response and the efficient operation conducted by the DPD, the blood supply has been delivered to the hospital, ensuring the injured volunteers receive the necessary medical attention.

 

 

The operation highlights the courage and dedication of the volunteers working tirelessly to help those affected by natural disasters. The DDPM continues to encourage the public to stay informed during such crises through their online resources.

What defines a 'rare' blood group in ethnic Thais?

I believe this was RH A Negative.
 

Seems that only around 0.3 per cent of the population here have Rh negative blood (A-, B-, O- or AB-)

Thanks George. I wonder if that small minority has the inherited thelassemia disorder prevalent among ethnic Thai.
