Background: The ABO blood group system is one of the most important blood group systems for clinical use in organ transplantation, blood transfusion, as well as in newborn hemolytic anaemia. Aim: This study was conducted with the aim of determining prevalence and distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups in Tarhuna city. Materials and methods: This study included 700 samples collected from Tarhuna Teaching Hospital and polyclinic, Al-Khadra clinics and Al-Dawun Hospital in the period from October 2022 to march 2023. The information of this study depends on the records (archives) available in the blood bank and laboratories. This information was recorder by a questionnaire included gender, type of ABO, Rh factor, and living place. Results: it was found that blood type O+ is the most prevalent with a percentage of (42.42%), followed by blood type A+ (27.14%), while the least prevalent blood group was AB- by (0.71%). As for the Rh system, Rh+ (86.71%) was more frequent than Rh- (13.29%). Conclusion: frequencies of ABO and Rh phenotypes in the Tarhuna city are similar to those reported in the most areas of the world.
