The ABO blood groups distribution was studied and Rhesus in (9900) individual of the Samawah, Rumaitha, Al-Warka, Al-Khader, Al-Salman judiciary in the Al-Muthanna governorate. Our research's findings indicated a high incidence of group O (3373) (38.07 % )male and female. Blood group (AB) showed a low incidence (793) (8.01%) male and female.

Rh factors showed higher incidence in this study of (𝑹𝒉+𝒗𝒆) (9327) (94.2%) comparison with very low incidence of (𝑹𝒉−𝒗𝒆) 573 (5.79%). The distribution ratio was studied (𝑹𝒉+𝒗𝒆) ratio in (9327) individual males and females, samples showed high incidence in (𝑶+𝒗𝒆) ratio as followed (3127) (33.53 %) While (𝑨𝑩+𝒗𝒆) showed low distribution ratio in all studied samples (766) (8.21 %). Samples showed high ratio in (𝑶−𝒗𝒆) (246) (43.93 %), while showed low ratio in (𝑨𝑩−𝒗𝒆) (27) (4.71 %). This research was done to determine (Rh) and (ABO) distribution between the whole population of AL Muthanna Governorate
