Governor of Veracruz says hospitals gave children water, not medicine under predecesor

Associated Press
Jan 17, 2017

A governor in Mexico says state-run hospitals apparently gave children water instead of chemotherapy treatments.

Gov. Miguel Angel Yunes Linares made the accusation while describing accusations of malfeasance and corruption under his predecessor, fugitive ex-Gov. Javier Duarte.

Yunes Linares told a news conference Monday that investigators had uncovered evidence of the medical fraud.

In his words, “We have tests on a medication given to children, a pediatric chemotherapy that wasn’t really a medication, it was an inert substance, practically distilled water.”
