WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR BLOOD GROUP
Everyone should know their own blood group and that of their family members. There are four main groups 0, A, B and AB, of which group 0 is the most common (47% of the population). There are many occasions when knowing your blood group could be important, for example, if you, or a member of your family, required an urgent blood transfusion it would be useful to know your blood group in advance. If it was an uncommon group it would allow the hospital valuable time to ensure adequate supplies. If you travel overseas carrying a blood group card could prove invaluable. Accidents and other emergencies can often be dealt with more efficiently knowing the blood group of the person or persons involved.
