Tis a good point you raise Mary as I don't know the whole group's type and it could be very usefull...hopefully got some type o's in the mix...shall endeavour to find out.

Not only should you know what your groups types are, you should also know who can donate to who - this could influence who accompanies a victim to hospital at a time when stocks could be low.

For your medical records should you need to arrange a blood transfusion among
your community, it is very prudent when possible to find out everyone in your
family or communities blood groups and keep the list with your medical kit.

0+ can receive (0+ and 0- ) and can give to 0+ A+B+ AB+
0- can receive (0-) and can give to all blood types
A+ can receive (A+ A- 0+ 0- ) and can give to A+ AB+
A- can receive (A- and 0- ) and can give to A+ A- AB+ ABB+ can receive (B+ B- 0+0-) and can give to B+ AB+
B- can receive ( B- and 0-) and can give to B+B-AB+ ABAB+ can receive all blood types, universal recipient and can give to AB+
AB- can receive (AB-A-B-0-) and can give to AB+ AB
Usual Caveats apply to this list
