Blood stocks in Phuket are often called on to save lives, especially of people injured in road accidents and requiring surgery.
All people are welcome, though Rh-negative donors are in the highest demand. Most recently the blood bank at Vachira Phuket Hospital in Phuket Town on Feb 24 made an urgent call for donors of B-negative and O-negative blood to step up to help save the life of a person injured in a road accident.
The Phuket branch of the Thai Red Cross Society has announced its schedule of mobile blood clinics for March, which include not only a host of locations in Phuket, but also several visits to Phang Nga and Krabi.
