Professor Michael Makris Shares Albert Farrugia’s Commentary on the UK Infected Blood Inquiry

Michael Makris, Emeritus Professor of Haemostasis and Thrombosis at the University of Sheffield, UK. Editor-in-Chief of Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“A fascinating commentary on the UK Infected Blood Inquiry by Albert Farrugia has been published in the journal Haemophilia. He gives a unique perspective as a person with haemophilia B who was infected with hepatitis B and C through FIX concentrate, but also professionally as a plasma fractionation scientist.
He supports the compensation to affected individuals but questions several of the Inquiry’s key conclusions.

It is difficult to understand why the Inquiry did not call on Albert to give oral evidence; surely there can be few persons alive today with more insight on the matter.
