A resident of Damongo, Rahinatu Amissah, has sued Accra-based medical laboratory company Synlab for allegedly producing a false HIV-positive test result.
In her writ, filed at the High Court in Accra and shared by The Law Platform, Rahinatu Amissah, through her lawyers, said the false test result brought her shame and led to the loss of her job in Kuwait.
She indicated that she had gone to the company for an HIV test as part of her application for permanent residency in Kuwait, where she had been working as a hairdresser, in compliance with the country's immigration requirements.
She said the Kuwaiti immigration officials were informed of the incorrect test result, which indicated she was HIV-positive.
