The minister took the blame and full responsibility for the syphilis-infected blood saga.  She said an error in the blood samples was detected and the ministry worked around the clock to rectify the situation.  During the verification of the system, they detected eight units of blood that were positive for Treponema pallidum, an organism that can cause syphilis, which were dispatched to Princess Marina and Scottish Livingstone.

Makgato also revealed that the Ministry of Health (MoH) was re-engineering their information technology system, installed in 27 hospitals and some clinics.
