Poland's Contaminated Blood Outbreak

Poland's Contaminated Blood Outbreak
Poland with a 0.9% per unit risk of HCV giving a 3.7% per transfusion Contaminated Blood Supply published the breakdown on the right for its transmission routes stating that 80% of their transmissions were transfusion healthcare related. Further they took the crucial time to access the threats from Minor Non Blood Using Minor Surgery and also Dentistry, all using the trusted and honest approach.  In the UK  we have many clinical reports of transfusions being 2 - 3% HCV infectious in the Seventies and Eighties yet we have been told for 26 years that 80 to 90% of HCV here is from injecting drug abuse.

Below left a letter to the Department of Health pointing out the scale of the difference between the NHS statements and those from the rest of the EU.
