Hayduke Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) As far as I know…once you reach the age of sixty in Thailand you are automatically disqualified as a potential blood donor. And…I believe no exceptions are allowed to this rather archaic and essentially unnecessary rule. So if you need A- (a very rare blood type in Thailand as it is) you may have a problem finding a donor that meets the age criteria. If someone knows differently…please correct me.

In a pinch yes (subject to cross-matching) but type specific is preferred. in any case all types of RH neg blood, including O-, are rare in Thailand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have previously donated blood in Thailand you can continue to do so to age 70. If first time, they won't accept past age 55 Ridiculous but that's the rule in Thailand Most hospitals cannot do blood collection, it is centralized under the Thai Red Cross; there is a TRC office in Lopburi town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rott Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I am A neg and once after a TVF appeal made a trip to the Red Cross in Bangkok only to be knocked back because of my age. I was not pleased. And the lady in charge was not pleased with my attitude. A pleasant feeling of self-righteous indignation all round. Hope the gentleman gets sorted.

Jaxxper Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I’m A-, but as I’m over 60 the Red Cross or hospitals will not accept someone of that age as a donor. I tried before in a similar situation. Hope you find someone to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
