Home » Calls » EMERGENCY CALL: Urgently wanted Dutch people with blood group AB Negative!
The editors of Thailandblog were asked to place this emergency call:
The Dutchman Robert van Dompselaar had a motorbike accident. He urgently needs blood transfusions. His blood group is AB Negative (quite rare).
If you live in the Kohn Kaen area and would like to help this countryman as a blood donor, please contact the general hospital in Kohn Kaen, telephone number 043-3365789 and indicate that it concerns Robert van Dompselaar.
You can also call Ann Nang Obulat for more information. Phone number 086-049-8817. She speaks limited English.
NB Belgians or other nationalities with blood group AB-Negative may of course also respond.
I don't quite get it, but then I'm not a doctor. His blood group is very rare, worldwide blood group AB negative is the least common (0,45% of the world's population). But according to medical websites, someone with AB Negative can simply receive a blood transfusion from a different blood group. AB- can receive: O-, A-, B-, AB-
See here:
Blood groups and blood transfusions
The blood group is essential when someone needs a blood transfusion. In a blood transfusion, it is necessary that a patient receives blood that is compatible with his or her own blood, which means that the donated blood must be accepted by their own blood. If the blood types are not compatible, the red blood cells will clump together, which can clog the arteries, resulting in death. Type O blood is considered the “universal donor” because the blood can be administered to people regardless of their blood group. Type AB+ blood is considered the “universal recipient” because people with this type of blood can receive all other blood types. Below is shown which blood groups can receive which blood.
Recipient with blood group A+ can receive: O-, O+, A+, A-
Recipient with blood group A- can receive: O-, A-
Recipient with blood group B+ can receive: O-, O+, B+, B-
Recipient with blood group B- can receive: O-, B-
Receiver with blood group AB+ can receive: O-, O+, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-
Recipient with blood group AB- can receive: O-, A-, B-, AB-
Recipient with blood group O+ can receive: O-, O+
Recipient with blood group O- can receive: O-

Thanks for your comment.
But I'm not a doctor either. If I read your message correctly, you can also ask for O-, A-, B-.
I don't have direct contact with the hospital myself and I don't dare to ask those other types now. I'm hesitant to ask something I don't understand….. In any case, they don't have enough blood for the transfusions.
Will try to see if the hospital has an email address, then I will submit the below (cumbersome and careful) to them. The email has now been sent.
If they respond I will let you know!
Thanks again.
Khun Peter's story may very well be true.
Only that doesn't make Robert's situation much more enviable.
Only 0,3 percent of the Thai population has a negative Rh factor.
So it seems that reactions from readers with a negative rhesus factor, regardless of blood group, are more than welcome.
I just found out that Robert got A negative last night. I completely agree with Fransamsterdam: everyone who has a negative rhesus factor, regardless of blood group, is more than welcome!
Help Robert!!
I have O blood and became a blood donor again in Thailand when a patient in the hospital who also had O blood needed blood immediately. Since then I give blood every three months, have a VIP donor card from the Red-Cross hospital, and since I am 60 I donate blood once every four months. Unfortunately, I cannot help this Dutchman because the period of 4 months has not yet expired, besides the fact that I live in Bangkok.
After reading this message, I suddenly feel a lot more comfortable with my AB+ …sorry, a mistake with blood transfusions, so I don't have to be afraid of that
I'm in Lamplaimat now, but I called, and they could use my blood group, A NEG.RHESUS.
Today was no longer necessary, so tomorrow I will be on the first bus to Khon Kaen
Beautiful Dirk, your gesture of solidarity!
Our society, especially in Western Europe, is becoming more and more individualistic, but luckily there are still social people who are immediately ready for their fellow man in need! And Khun Peter is also always willing to sort things out and assist others with advice and action, as there are more on this blog. That does a person good. Hopefully the victim, Robert van Dompselaar, will recover from his injury.
Dear Chris
I don't understand your message because it doesn't ask what you can't do, but what you can do and Bangkok isn't far when it comes to something someone urgently needs. Sometimes I think that people would like to be read in Thai bloq, because they often miss the mark, just like now. Then I admire Dirk who understands and gets on the bus to do what is asked. I would have done too, but unfortunately I don't have the right blood group
Before everyone travels to Khon Kaen: at the Khon Kaen Hospital donors older than 55 years are refused! I am familiar with the situation of Rob van Dompselaar and yesterday I offered to donate blood for Rob. Everything went well until my age was asked. Despite the fact that I have been a donor for years in the Netherlands and have only passed the age of 55 a few years ago, I was not accepted as a donor.
Rob indeed received 1 bag(s) of A- yesterday. Not enough, but there is far too little in Thailand, so it is used very selectively. It has become clear to me that if people indicate that they are donating for a specific person, they will indeed be helped in case of a possible shortage.
Lost a friend myself in January after a motorcycle accident where we were riding together.
He suffered a pelvic fracture and bled out because they didn't tell us there was only one bag of transfused blood available. We were also not allowed to transfer him from Khampaengpet to Chiang Mai by helicopter from the doctors. Apparently the shoe pinched afterwards that the invoice had to be settled first, but we were not told that in so many words. In short, as a farang, your life is not worth much in Thailand, but your money is…..

Good morning blog readers.
Maybe someone is serious about this big problem now, (which I think can be solved quickly with us
arrival of the blood bank in the Netherlands.)
I'm waiting for the reactions tonight what more solutions there are, because it's much needed.
good luck ROBERT and I hope there will be a solution soon for you and the others in the future.

Read Your message today and I have AB neg. I would like to help, I am 63 years old, if not necessary, I would still like to donate blood to a blood bank here … greetings Harry.
Yesterday , after reading this posting , I looked up my army recognition plate .
Those who have served at the KL, among others, know what I'm talking about.
Unfortunately I am a member of the blood group A rho D negative, and as I read in one of the comments also much too old 61 years now passed
Anyway, best wishes to the victim.
Jan Beute.
Sorry I just read the message
I have blood group B
as a donor I am positive and as a recipient negative I know if I can help with this
