Yes you may be right these tests might have been bought by MineSeeker Foundation and possibly donated to the clinic. I still hold to my conclusion that the donated tests are not a waste.

Rick made this point clear...
"In Kenya we donated 10,000 tests for a study involving the MOH and TB patients. If you recall, we made this donation in honor of World AIDS Day last December. This donation was presented to the Embassy by our local Congresswoman, Representative Barbara Hooley, as a part of our Capital Hill initiatives. We believe this exposure to MOH is a way to build awareness of and comfort with using this product with influential groups in country. Remember, despite our excellent clinical trial results, and the intuitive advantages of a non-invasive test, blood testing has been the historical standard and it takes “a test drive” to get used to an alternative protocol. Donation programs such as this are expected to drive momentum."

Donated is nice and sold is much nicer. If sold then why complain.
