SYNLAB Ghana has formally responded to media reports regarding a lawsuit filed against the company over allegedly inaccurate HIV test results that reportedly led to job loss and stigma for a female client.
The reports, which cite a GHC10 million legal claim, allege that the woman tested positive for HIV following a diagnosis by SYNLAB, only to later discover that she was not infected.
The woman is said to have lost her job and suffered reputational harm as a result.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, July 1, SYNLAB Ghana confirmed that a case is currently pending in court but rejected the media narrative surrounding the suit, calling it "inaccurate, misleading, and prejudicial." "While we respect the individual's right to seek legal redress, we strongly reject the narrative being propagated in the media," the statement read.
