REPORT: Details revealed into scandal of expired cancer drugs

After the outbreak of the scandal pertaining to the expired cancer drugs sold to patients, people took to social media platforms to comment on the issue, questioning whether they lost their loved ones because of the actions of Mona al-Baalbaki.

Al-Baalbaki has been sacked by the General Disciplinary Council for stealing a quantity of Health Ministry-donated cancer medicines from the hospital and selling them for hundreds of millions of Lebanese pounds.

 

She also replaced the medicine with other expired ones that were given to children and women patients, a forgery believed to be the reason behind their deaths.

 

LBCI continued investigation into the case, revealing that the period during which al-Baalabki committed her crimes extended from 2006 to 2009, when she was the head of the pharmacy department at the hospital.

 

In 2009, doubts were raised by some employees at the department, prompting internal investigations within the hospital, leading to the suspension of Mona al-Baalbaki.
