The group of doctors is tried on charge of murder in Paris
8 February 2008In Paris on Wednesday, February, 6, began the hearings on the case of manslaughter of more than 100 people, who died as a result of treatment by growth hormone, informs the French mass-media.
Seven people are accused of negligence, committed in 1980s in the process of manufacture, preparation for use and distribution of growth hormone, used for treatment of people, suffering from various forms of dwarfism.
In 1983-85 about thousand children have got medical treatment in France by growth hormone, which manufacture, presumably, was done without taking all necessary sanitary precautions.
In 1991 it became known about the first victim - the boy died because of brain-attacking illness.
For today it is fixed about 110 fatal cases, and the destiny of other 800 former patients is not still clear.
In February, 2007 the French Office of the Public Prosecutor has demanded trial above several doctors responsible for gathering and extraction of hypophyses, and also for distribution of the product in the given period of time.
