ZNBTS Refutes Contamination Claims, Assures Public of Safe Blood Supply
The Zambia National Blood Transfusion Service (ZNBTS) has refuted claims that donated blood in Zambia is contaminated.
ZNBTS Director, Joseph Mulenga, said that contrary to some media reports, all the blood in storage facilities across the country is safe for use.
Dr. Mulenga told ZNBC that the claims are grossly misleading to the public, adding that media institutions must verify information with responsible authorities for factual and accurate reporting.
He explained that all ten hubs around the country have enough stocks of safe blood owing to the rigorous screening mechanisms that have been put in place.
