The clinic’s owner, Dr. Rita Kilislian, was ordered to provide contact information for affected patients, but the clinic has not fully complied with this order despite multiple court rulings. Recently, some patients received misleading information, which PPH says does not follow the court order.
Medical Officer of Health & Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Thomas Piggott, expressed concern over the lack of transparency regarding infection prevention and control lapses at Kawartha Endodontics, emphasizing the rights of patients under Ministry of Health directives.
Patients from this period are encouraged to visit the PPH website for testing information, including letters for healthcare providers, fact sheets on hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and further details about the infection control lapse and court decisions.
