Q: Please my Doctor, which of the blood groups is the best?

A: Good question 😀  None is better than the other per se; however, they may different blood types play different roles at different times.

People with blood group ‘O’ are known as universal donors and people with blood group AB are known as universal acceptors. Thus, blood groups O+, O-, AB- and B- are always in hot demand. Even if you don’t have any of these ‘fashionable’ 😉 blood groups, your blood group still counts.  

In terms of blood donation, all blood groups count. You have to be at least 17 years or over, in good health with a healthy blood count and weigh more than 50kg, you can donate whole blood every 56 days and your blood will be screened for viruses and bacteria. If you’re female, please don’t donate while menstruating or soon after. We don’t want to drain the life out of you, do we? 😀 

Have a good weekend people 😀 TGIF

Here’s to a healthier you!
