Not for this case. However, O+ is always needed too. One of the most important blood types. Please donate too.

That has Changed! UK 🇬🇧 donors now Welcomed Back at Major blood banks.

Thailand 🇹🇭 is the third non-European country to remove the restrictions.

Special processing for blood- so only certain large blood banks. See this post.

@Floris **************

You can share from this Group. Thank you.

Most people do not know their blood type, we need more Westerners to donate.

I don't have any input. I'm an Expat Volunteer. I do what I can to help us help ourselves.

I suspect it is recovery. That they don't want someone donating for the first time at 69. Lot of countries have a cutoff at 60 - period - with no continuation beyond 60.

They want the data on the donor prior to 60.

As we age, our ability to replenish red blood cells reduces. It's to ensure the safety for the donor.
