HISTORY, STATS & FACTS
Karl Landsteiner was the first to identify the three main blood groups, A, B and O. This discovery changed the world of blood donation and affects us even today.
RH-NEGATIVE
In the United States, only 15% of the population has a negative antigen. This means that negatives need to donate more to make up for the need for Rh-negative transfusions.
