I tried but the local Red cross say I am too old yet donate blood in the Uk. Can someone tell the THAI RED CROSS that foreigners are probably healthier than their Thai counterparts and that it is a shame that Thai red tape stops so much from happening.

How old is "too old".

My wife has just rung the hospital and they will not accept blood from anyone over sixty. As most of the expats are over sixty here there must have been a good chance of finding doners of the O Neg blood type (self included). Good luck anyway.

It should be the patient's call about taking a donor over 60 barring any known or apparent health problems of the donor.

I agree, surely they must test the blood before giving it to the patient.

I'm 57 and in good health and was also told I could not donate, I am O-.

Can't help.....I am a B+ and also I am a diabetic

So doubt they would take me anyhow even if I was a match.

Interesting to see if you lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 you are not eligible to donate. The mad cow thing.

Good luck. That is a difficult one even if there were no exclusions.

I cannot verify the accuracy of this but it may be handy for a reference.
