UK donor can help save life of girl, 2

A UK donor has been found to help save the life of a two-yearold girl in the US with one of the rarest blood types in the world.

Zainab Mughal, from Florida, has an aggressive form of cancer and needs blood transfusions.

Her blood is missing an antigen called Indian B and the search for donors is confined to a very specific population. A 50-year-old British Indian mother was found to be a match. She said she feels “privileged” that her donation was being used to help Zainab.
