In Murmansk for the third time in six months asked to donate the second blood group

The Murmansk regional blood transfusion station reported an increased need for donor blood. This was reported by the press service of the institution. This is the third time I have been asked to pass a second positive.

Now especially need blood of the second group with a positive Rh factor and the first group with a positive Rh factor. Medical institutions of the Arctic are experiencing an acute shortage of donor material.

In mid-October, the station asked for donors with the second positive and first negative groups. In May, there was also a call to donate second positive blood, when more than 40 people responded in a few days. The regional Ministry of Health explained that the need arose due to the applications of medical organizations and the need to replenish the supply of red blood cells, which have a limited shelf life.

Earlier, “MK in Murmansk” said that after replenishment in may in Murmansk again need a second blood group.
