Thanks for pinning this on the board guys, and forwarding this message on. I really appreciate it.

Glad we could help

What a fabulous idea. Have registered and will ask husband if he will too. I am sure he will. This really should be more publicised and I will do my best to make sure it is. Shouldn't it be on the BKK forum too or have I just not seen it?

The issue of blood donation was addressed fairly recently hence the introduction of http://bloodbank.thaivisa.com/

[AndyWeysham]

I was looking forward to donating blood as my finace' does it regularly as way of making merit. Unfortunately since I work in Afica they will not take it even if tested. anyone know this to be a fact?

It is true. I think it is if you have worked in africa for a month or over. Although i think you can give blood again after a year.

You also cannot give blood within one year of having a tattoo or a piercing. This is due to the chances of carrying hep. C.

I wont be able to give blood for another 8 years because at 24 i have carried the glandular fever virus for 2 years.

I hope this helps!! Im a biology lab tech here in grey england, so i have to know this kind of stuff!!

Here is a list of reasons for which your blood may be declined:

[seanocasey]

After checking this site for updates there are only 24 people signed up to give blood.
I'm not going into the why and where fors but isent it time we all woke up. We need blood to survive.

As a side note ... the rules for donating blood in Dallas or in the UK are different than here.

Dontaed twice in Thailand since the Tsunami and once in Cambodia ... (again I am the odd duck ... thought I was o- (Univ donor for most caucasians ... turned out I am o+ ... univ donor for most asians ... go figure

[soic]

where can I go to give blood in BKK? I'll be arriving on 2-Apr and can give on 3-Apr.  I have O+.

Thank you!

[groo]

i have added myself on the list. i think this link should be promoted. we have several thousands of active users within thailand and this list could be very very beneficial. hope the moderators or owners of this forum would put up a banner on the forum site.  instead of just commercial advertisements on sponsors etc.

[guardian]

I too have added myself to the list.  I just chanced upon this thread almost by accident.  If I had just logged in and saw a few pages and then logged off, I surely would never have seen this thread.

It would be a good idea to send a mass PM to all members, even to the 33 already registered at this moment and I'm sure there will be many more members enlisting soon who might be unaware of this thread as they might be visiting only a particular sub-section and not all the sections of the forum.

And the next thing is to add a permanent link on the top along with:

"Send SMS" "Advertise" "Expat Insurance" "Blogs" "Live Chat" "Gallery" "Help" "Search" "Member"

Farangs listen up your Blood is needed.

[leisurely]

Well said SeanOcasey. I have said it time and againl, it is a marvellous idea that people can be called up in an emergency. Why haven't more people signed up? I am sure they would be looking for help if they needed it.

Just bumping the thread up....

Everyone needs to make some money.

TV has added a new link to "Book Shop", but no link to something which could be life saving like putting a "Blood Needed" link on the top column.    And, just like the "xx new messages" showing in the top portion, there can be a similar alert when someone needs blood so that everyone does not have to click and see often whether blood is needed or not.

Does anyone know if the Red Cross in BKK does apheresis or plasma donation as well?

Or just whole blood?

Blood question - I am O neg and am pregnant. My husband is O positive so we have possible RH incompatibility between myself and the baby (common complication for O neg mothers, easily treatable with 2 blood transfusions).

I will give birth in Thailand, but need a treatment of Immunoglobin at 28 weeks, and again after birth. Because most people are O+, this is a very uncommon problem in Thailand and the immunoglobin is not something most hospitals keep in stock. I'm currently trying to find a source of this immunoglobin stuff. I've got about 12 weeks to find some. Anyone got any ideas or come up against this problem?

Where can i continue to do this in Chiang Mai ?
