However, Rh-Negative is EXTREMELY Rare in the Thai Population. Almost impossible to find. Relatively common in the Western population. Many Expats are in need of a transfusion or waiting for blood to have a surgery.

Rh-Negative is used faster than it is replaced - it's an Extremely Rare Blood Type in the Thai population.

If you are Rh-Negative, please donate every 90 days.
