With regards to the previous on Li Fang's plan for transplant soon, we would like to seek your support in this matter.
Li Fang has mentioned that her blood type will be changed from O+ to B+ because her donor's blood type is B+. She would be requiring B+ platelets to be on standby just in case she needs it suddenly. Well there's always the BloodBank to turn to you might say, but she will have to queue and wait for platelets then, which might not be a good idea.
We do seek your help to come forth to donate your platelets if you belong to the B+ blood group.
It is a simple procedure as like blood donation BUT you'll have to stay beside her for the 3-hour long procedure.
Step 1: blood will be drawn out of you as like blood donation
Step2: platelets will be separated from your blood
Step 3: blood is returned back to your body
If you fulfil the following criteria and is willing and able to help, we appreciate that you pay a visit to Singapore General Hospital this week for a screening to further determine your eligibiilty.
