This is a new report once again damning for Professor Didier Raoult. The Ministers of Health and Research took legal action on Monday in view of a new report on the Marseille IHU, which confirms “serious malfunctions” when this scientific institute was under the direction of the controversial academic.
This final report, published on Monday, highlights “several elements likely to constitute offenses or serious breaches of health or research regulations”, said ministers François Braun and Sylvie Retailleau in a joint press release.
These are inappropriate medical practices “that could generate a health risk for patients, particularly during research protocols”, “deviations in management practices that can generate harassment and ill-being at work”, deviations in the governance, or a gradual deterioration in the institution’s financial situation.
On reading these conclusions, the ministers seized the public prosecutor of Marseille. “It will be up to the courts to rule on the practices in question. The director of the IHU-MI will be summoned. “Full compliance with the action plan and the regulations in force will be subject to regular checks by the two ministries, and will condition the continuation of the activity of the IHU-MI and its financing by the State. »
