Health Ministry says no syphilis in rechecked blood
The Health Ministry says 6,000 portions of blood that were rechecked for syphilis after a scare are all clear.
“All the results are correct and prove the safety of the (blood) donations,” the ministry says today.
The ministry ordered a retest of the blood in early October after the European manufacturer of the kits used to check the blood for syphilis said they may be faulty.
