💥If you are Rh-Negative, please donate every 90 days to avoid emergencies. ALL Rh-Negative Groups💥
The National blood centre on Henri Dunant Rd and the Regional Blood Centres (Chiang Mai, Phuket, Chonburi, Phitsanulok, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Hua Hin, Khon Kaen, Songkla, Nakhon Ratchasima) are now accepting donors from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, France 🇫🇷 and Ireland 🇮🇪 who were previously unable to donate due to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease... aka "mad cow 🐄 " disease.
ALL Blood Types are needed and are used, HOWEVER, we always have critical need for Rh-Negative donors.
Even if you do not know your blood type, please donate. Westerners have the highest percentage of Rh-Negative. EXTREMELY Rare in the Thai population.

Primary qualifications are:
✅ Under 60 if first-time donor in Thailand

TLDR : Answer Summary
Emergency workers in Chiang Rai have been involved in an accident, leading to a critical need for blood donors. Specifically, there is a pressing requirement for Rh-Negative donors, as this blood type is rare in Thailand. Expats and individuals from the UK, France, and Ireland who were previously ineligible to donate due to health regulations can now participate at various blood centers. Key eligibility requirements include being under 60 years old, not consuming alcohol 24 hours prior, and having a healthy diet before donation.
