NGO Opens Club Exclusively for People With Negative Blood Group
October 31, 2007 at 6:56 PM
General Health News
The NGO named Medical Bank has opened Negative Blood Group Club to help in emergency, as it turns a crisis during medical emergency.
On an average, one in every 4,000 people has AB negative blood group. The ratio of A, B or O negative blood is 1:1000.
This rare accessibility leaves the needy facing horrendous times in emergencies. The club's aim is to overcome this crisis, said Sutapa Chakraborty, a member.
The RH negative blood group is rare and the difficulty in procuring negative blood in times of emergencies, prompted Medical Bank to start an association of negative blood carriers on June 14 (International Voluntary Blood Donors' Day), 2007.
"There is always a crisis of negative blood groups be it A-, B-, AB- or O-. To find negative blood groups is tricky and those who need it realise the difficulty involved in locating it, said D. Ashish, Director, Medical Bank.
To overcome this crisis, the members of Medical Bank have decided to open a club of negative blood group members. We have at least 200 members and the members donate blood to each other during need," Ashish added.
"If a member requires blood, he or she can contact either D. Ashish or me. We coordinate with the other members of club and ensure that the needy member gets the required blood group," said Amit Chakraborty, Administrator, Life Care Blood Bank.
