Hi Birgitta-A,
Thanx for the suggestion. I will ask my sister to inform the doctor in the goverment hospital to check the antibodies just in case.
About blood type matching
Human blood is typed by certain markers (called antigens) on the surface of red blood cells camera. If you get a blood transfusion, the transfused blood must match your type; that is, it must have the same antigens as your red blood cells. If you get a transfusion of blood with antigens different from yours (incompatible blood), your immune system camera destroys the transfused blood cells. This is called a transfusion reaction and can cause serious illness or even death. This is why matching blood type is so important.
