Tokyo : The Japanese government bears ultimate responsibility for hepatitis C infection caused by tainted blood products, Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda said Monday, according to a news report.
Pharmaceutical matters are the responsibility of the authority that grants permissions for them, and that includes the moral esponsibility. I expect we’ll be discussing the matter further in the (ruling) party, Kyodo News agency quoted Fukuda as saying.
Fukuda also said he intends to meet with a group of sufferers of the disease who are seeking damages from the government and drug makers, Kyodo said.
