Abstract
Blood group are inherited from our biological parents and the distribution of blood group varies among the population living in the country. The aim of this study was to study the frequency of distribution of blood group among the blood donors in Central Regional Referral Hospital (CRRH), Gelephu, Bhutan. The total of 6045 blood donors from 2011-2017 were included in this study. The frequency of distribution of A, B, AB and O blood group was found to be 29.31%, 23.90%, 8.42% and 38.21%, respectively. The blood group O is significantly higher. Only 0.15% of them were found to be Rhesus D negative. The sequence of frequency of ABO distribution among the blood donor at CRRH, Gelephu is; O > A > B > AB.
