Group of Romanian doctors under investigation on suspicion they reused medical implants surgically removed from dead patients




A group of Romanian doctors is under investigation on suspicion that they reused medical implants surgically removed from dead patients.

One of the doctors, suspected to be the ringleader, is in the custody of local authorities.

Investigators believe that the group may have performed hundreds of surgical procedures to remove implants from dead bodies and use them on other patients.

Romania’s health system is one of the most underdeveloped and underfunded in Europe, and it’s often been plagued by corruption.
