The primary objective of the study was to compare laboratory practices for screening blood donors for syphilis at blood transfusion facilities in Ghana with WHO and The National Blood Service, Ghana (NBSG) recommendations. In addition we estimated the prevalence of syphilis antibodies in blood donors in Ghana.
