The incident has badly affected two Nationwide Well being Service (NHS) hospital trusts liable for a number of of the capital’s busiest facilities, together with St Thomas’ Hospital, King’s Faculty Hospital, Man’s Hospital, Royal Brompton Hospital, and Evelina London Kids’s Hospital.
By June 4, the hospitals began cancelling transplant operations and described blood transfusions as “notably affected” in an inner memo written by Man’s and St Thomas’ head, Professor Ian Abbs.
On the identical day, Synnovis, a three way partnership between the 2 well being trusts concerned and German medical testing and diagnostics firm Synlab, acknowledged the assault.
