March 2021
ANZSBT presented our first webinar in the ANZSBT 2021 Webinar Series titled “Zainab’s Story The international effort to find rare blood to save a young girl’s life”.
Zainab’s Story is about the international effort to find rare blood to save a two-year-old girl with a rare blood group. Zainab Mughal, the little girl from South Florida, who has some of the rarest blood in the world, sparked a global call to action for people to donate blood to help save her life as she battled cancer.
Dr Richard Gammon and Nancy Benitez (OneBlood USA), Sandra Nance (Rare Donor Program American Red Cross) and Tanya Powley (Australian Red Cross Lifeblood) amongst other international presenters shared with us as to how they searched the world to find compatible blood for Zainab, a two-year-old girl with a rare blood group.
