Mexican governor: Cancer children given water instead of chemotherapy
Mexican governor: Cancer children given water instead of chemotherapy
19 January 2017
Mexican authorities are to investigate allegations children battling cancer were given "distilled water" instead of chemotherapy.
An "in-depth investigation" will look into claims made by Veracruz governor Miguel Angel Yunes Linares on Monday, the Ministry of Health said.
He alleged fake medicine had been bought and used in state hospitals under his predecessor Javier Duarte.
Mr Duarte has been on the run from the authorities since October.
