A letter from Toronto Public Health was sent to 2,500 patients who had potentially been exposed to bloodborne viruses
Toronto Public Health sent letters to 2,500 patients of a Toronto gynecology clinic, warning them of potential exposure to HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C due to improperly sanitized medical instruments. The clinic's practices came under scrutiny after a patient complaint in September 2024, leading to a restriction of the gynecologist's practice and a recommendation for single-use instruments. As of the reporting date, no infections had been confirmed to be linked to the clinic's practices.
