“Thanks to the support of Ukrainians, it was possible to sufficiently increase the daily supply of erythrocyte blood components. However, among us, as well as among the entire population of Europe, only 14% have Rh-negative blood.. Accordingly, the number of donors of the Rh-negative phenotype is low, ”the message says..
