Every compatible unit of blood available nationwide was required to treat a nine-year-old boy with a rare mix of blood types, helping save him from a disorder that can prove life-threatening if unmanaged.
Qasim Rizwan, from Bolton, explained that he feels as though his "life has restarted" after recovering from autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA).
He has also visited specialists at the NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) national frozen blood bank in Liverpool who assisted in saving his life.
