VORONEZH, December 22 (RIA Novosti) - The Voronezh Region's central blood bank has been temporarily closed after an 11-year-old boy and a 21-year-old woman tested positive for HIV following blood transfusions, a health watchdog official said Thursday.
The head of the Voronezh regional branch of the Federal Service for the Oversight of Public Health and Social Affairs, Boris Solomatin, said the region's central healthcare department received a letter from the federal service to stop the clinic's work.
