Rare groups
Why Rare Blood Group Donors Should Register
If your group is rare, being findable is the whole game.
Scarcity cuts both ways
AB−, O− and the true rarities (Bombay, Rh-null) face the harshest arithmetic: few compatible donors, small stocks, and expiry working against banks. When you're rare, the network IS the supply.
Rare donors are also rare patients
Registering protects you too — the platform that can find you for others is the same one that finds others for you.
Recruit your relatives
Rare phenotypes run in families; one registered rare donor who recruits siblings and cousins can multiply an entire region's coverage.
Frequently asked questions
How will I know my group is rare?
Beyond ABO/Rh, banks flag rare phenotypes during grouping — ask whenever you donate.
Will I be called more often?
Only when a compatible request is near — rare-group calls are infrequent but disproportionately life-saving.
