Understanding Blood Group Tests

The classification of blood into different groups is a vital aspect of medical diagnosis and treatment. The ABO blood group system, consisting of types A, B, AB, and O, as well as the Rhesus Factor (Rh+ or Rh-), plays a critical role in determining blood compatibility for transfusions, surgeries, and other medical procedures. At Private Medical Clinic, we recognize the importance of knowing your blood type, and our specialised blood group tests provide this essential information swiftly and accurately.

Certain countries may require individuals to provide their blood type for biometric passport applications. Private Medical Clinic streamlines this process by providing accurate blood group information promptly.
