instructions are that I have too first find 5 positive blood doners.

I'm universal donor blood type, but due to past malaria & pretty extensive plasma infusions that saved my life a long time back I am deemed not a suitable donor here after applying a few times over the years

Which shows good safeguards in the donor vetting process, fair play, better than my home country managed for sure

I apologize for not getting back to the replies. The situation is that I am the sole carer of my partner, she is unable to attend to herself. She has a lack of oxygen in her red blood cells, so is not functioning at her best, she has lost weight rapidly, she cannot walk unaided, nor go alone to the bathroom, nor can she feed herself.
All sounds pretty grim, but the doctors at Mercy Medical Center have been treating her with tests and medicine, and will do the blood transfusion. They are giving us some hope -

My partner was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis 3 1/2 years ago, and the two overseas qualified doctors at the time said she would not last to the end of the year. But she has been going strong up to recently, so I will not yet give up hope, but I know the situation is not good.

Just need 5 people to say 100% they are willing to give blood donations, then I can ask the doctor to prepare the paperwork needed and set a near date.

Thank you

Just a bit of information that my inlaws learned the hard way the last two years, when giving blood for a patient in Calmette, the bloodbank was located in or near the russian hospital, and they disqualified anybody from giving blood with high bloodpressure (they may wait an hour to test the bloodpressure again), anybody with a dissease and anybody with a tattoo. So if you need 5 people to give blood, you may need a few more to compensate for disqualifications.(unless you already factored in some losses). One person can not give blood again for 3 months after donating. My sister inlaw at the time was on the phone the whole time to arrange fresh candidates for giving blood. I wish you and your partner all the best

Have I read this right the hospital won't give blood to a person unless you have proof you can replace the blood given.
I'll come to PP tomorrow Andy.

Yes! But it's better than finding doners with a blood type the same. So doners give blood and the hospital or blood bank gives the blood type we need in exchange.
