Abstract
This study is to determine the blood group distribution among medical students of Koyalanchal which was conducted with 308 students of Patliputra Medical College Dhanbad. The tests were conducted at PMCH Dhanbad by glass slide and tube methods. The records are preserved in academic section of the college. The results showed the blood group B to be the commonest among both the genders followed by blood group O. AB blood group was the least and Rh positive were 96% in comparison to Rh negative. Knowledge of blood grouping and Rh typing in a particular geographical area is helpful in having access to safe and sufficient blood storage and supply.
Keywords: Blood group, Distribution, blood group B, Koyalanchal.
