A blood shortage has arisen in Irkutsk. The regional transfusion station asks regular donors, especially those with the first and other Rh negative blood groups, to come to donation centers. Other blood groups are already full, and the shortage is due to many patients now needing red cell mass. Such cases are rare, so doctors urge people to respond as soon as possible.
Irkutsk is short of blood. Employees of the regional blood transfusion station are asking regular donors and those with the first and other Rh-negative blood groups to come to the donation centers. In Irkutsk, they are located at: 122 Baikalskaya Street and 100 Yubileiny Microdistrict.The bank of other blood groups is completely full. The need has arisen for the first and other groups specifically with a negative Rh factor. According to statistics, there are very few people with such data. About 3% of all residents of the region. Such situations at the transfusion station happen very rarely. The current shortage, says the chief physician of the Irkutsk Regional Blood Transfusion Station, Maksim Zarubin, arose by chance:
- A large number of patients with the first negative blood group and other negative groups are undergoing treatment. Therefore, in this situation, a shortage of blood components may arise. In particular, red blood cell mass.
