HELP "O" positive blood
Ladies and Gentlemen
I have been asked to pass on the following in the hope that some of you may be able to help.
Last Tuesday Natalie, a South African lady was rushed into
hospital for emergency cesarean at 28 weeks, because of a viral infection. Both her and the newborn boy are in critical condition in the ICU. To make matters worse, Hamad Hospital has run out of O positive blood, she desperately needs blood platelets to stay alive. Luckily her mom and brother have arrived, which will
certainly aid in her recovery.

shazbat said
About 50% of the population ...About 50% of the population has O+ & O- blood. But because O+ & O- can be used for ALL blood types (A & B as well)they use much more of it.
So if people with A & B blood types also donate, they wont need to use as much O blood.

Intelligent....... ...I have already donated blood few days back. I dont know how soon I can donate blood platelets again but I think I heard once that you can donate platelets after 3 days or so. Any how if they need platelets they can call me coz I have already registered my name for platelets donor long back but I never received a call.

I had heard the problem with ...I had heard the problem with the low blood supply is with Hamad Hospital itself and all the road works outside. On-top of this the actual building for the blood donating is quite obscure and not many people at Hamad know where to direct you (got this from someone on my compound who donated blood over the w/end).
I believe O- is the universal donor (not both O's).
However can we have a Medical professional clarify and also an update on the person who was critically ill, thanks
SPEED said
TCOM... Thank you for the information which is 'Valid' ...After trying several numbers in different departments in HMC, finally I reached 'Natalie' ... I spoke to the Nurse and she mentioned to me that they are waiting for the Doctor's advise.
If they need more blood they will call me. If I receive a call, we will run 'Blood Donation' Campaign for Natalie and for others in general.

Just in reply to ...Just in reply to Supernurse....I had an emergency C section (in the UK) and had a 7 pint blood transfusion (as I lost 2750 ml of blood during the procedure...which was 50% of my blood count)...so this is quite common. Does anyone have an update about this lady and her baby yet?
harsha said
i am O +ve.. lemme know if i ...i am O +ve.. lemme know if i can donate any blood..
usually they dont take from me as they want that the person shud be in qatar for a min. of 6 months.. which never happens with me.
SPEED said
Asia... as per my conversation with the Nurse she and her ...baby are OK now, she said that she don't think they need more blood for her or for the baby, but they are waiting for the Doctor's advise.
They have my mobile number, they will inform me.
sohbetocean said
Aisha I had the same problem ...My blood card from the U.S. said that I was 0 negative..Hence, I was always swamped with donation requests in my mailbox...but my Qatari ID says 0+. Maybe the same labworker ;)
mani.250 said
