Urgent: Blood needed to save American, 24

PHUKET: The Phuket Regional Blood Center (PRBC) has issued an urgent call for O-negative blood to save the life of a 24-year-old American woman involved in a road accident in Phuket.
“The patient is being treated at Bangkok Hospital Phuket,” said PRBC Chief Pornthip Rattajak. “They have completed one operation. However, more blood is needed for a second one.”
Only one unit of O-negative blood is currently available for the patient, who Ms Pornthip declined to name. At least four units are required for the surgery.
In January, a desperate plea for A-negative blood was made to save the life of a German man involved in motorcycle accident (story here).
Donations can be made at the PRBC, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday, 8:30am to 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 3pm.
