Do you know?
There are four blood groups: A, B, AB and O. Your blood group is determined by the group of antigen in your red cells.  Both group A refers to the fact that you have A-antigens, type B has B-antigens, blood group AB refers to the existence of both, while type O has neither A nor B.

Use of blood:
Blood is essential to human life. When significant blood loss or its components falling below a normal level, our lives may be at risk. The following gives a brief account on the blood transfusion requirement of different types of patient or injured persons :

Whole blood - Massive blood loss, fatal exchange transfusion, paediatric heart surgery
Red cells - Anaemia
Platelets - Bleeding due to thrombocytopenia or functional disorder of platelet

The volume of blood donated by blood donor is around 350-450 ml, approximate to the volume of a can of soft drink.  The blood collected will be produced into various blood components for treatment purpose. A pack of blood can save around 3-4 people's lives,so please don't hesistate and come join blood donation!
