More than 3,000 people died in the UK after being infected with HIV, or hepatitis, from contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 80s. Next month, the long-awaited public inquiry into the scandal is due to publish its final report.
The 大象传媒 has now uncovered evidence that one of the country鈥檚 most senior haemophilia doctors gave infected blood products to children, despite advising colleagues not to do so. One of his patients who died was just 7 years old.
