ISLAMABAD: Almost half of all Pakistanis across the country (47pc) claim that they are aware of their blood group. When asked if they have ever donated blood, 20pc replied in affirmative.

According to a Gilani Research Foundation survey carried out by Gallup Pakistan, these figures have dropped in the last few years as the corresponding values in 2007 were 61pc for blood group awareness and 25pc for donating blood.

The data on claimed awareness shows wide fluctuation over less than five years. It would be interesting to probe this issue and investigate causes underlying wide fluctuation in awareness about blood group.

A nationally representative sample of men and women from across the country were asked the following question: ôDo you know what is your blood group?

In 2011 47pc replied in affirmative as opposed to 53pc who said they donÎt know. In 2007 61pc replied positively and 39pc did not.

A detailed analysis of the recent survey revealed that relatively more urbanites (61pc) are informed of their blood group compared to the rural dwellers (40pc). This awareness is relatively greater in men (56pc) than women (37pc).
