IF someone is from the UK France or Ireland they can donate at the National Blood Centre on Henri Dunant Rd ONLY. Special processing for blood.

Everyone else, can donate at any Thai Red Cross location anywhere in Thailand

@Suzanne *****

. The regions impacted by the vCJD disease are the UK, France and Ireland. From 1980 to 1996.

Most countries in the World do not accept those donors.

Every other country is not restricted, such as the USA, Germany, China, etc... as these areas were not Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease areas. "Mad Cow Disease".

@Suzanne *****

Donors from the UK who lived during mad cow disease period in that region are nor accepted by the majority of the World.

Thailand does accept. Only at the National Blood Centre in Bangkok due to special processing

@Amy ******

Yes, where are you located?

@Charlie ****

I am an expat volunteer. I do not have money or a medical staff.

@Arthur *******

I checked. Case is still open. He did receive some blood.... needs more.

In case anyone is reading this.

@Nikki ********

Fantastic! You will need a Thai address and a phone number when you register. You can use a friend's address.

Thank you Nikki. Unfortunately, Koh Phangan doesn't have a blood bank. Samui does... but we cannot transfer the blood from Samui to Bangkok.

Since you are Rh-Negative- and we always need donors - is it possible for you to donate in Bangkok? Or even in Samui, to have a unit banked.

@Arthur *******

The National Blood Centre is accepting donors from the UK, France and Ireland

Age limit is 60 for first-time donor, 70 for previous donor in Thailand.

Thank you for trying. Yes, I heard that this man recently received a unit.

We are keeping the case open

1. He may need more

2. To replenish the reserves he may have used. The Thai Red Cross keeps a very minimal supply on hand.
