In its quest to ensure that only hospitals with the capacity to properly screen blood are allowed to receive blood donations,wholesale jerseys china, the Ministry of Health will this week be inspecting all private hospitals.According to Health Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy, several inspectors will be dispatched to the health facilities in order to determine whether they can test for a number of blood-related diseases, including Chagas.Chagas is a tropical parasitic disease which is commonly transmitted to humans and other mammals by an insect vector.
