Unequal Treatment: how investigative reporting revealed a useless, dangerous paediatric cancer medicine flooding the world

Abstract

In late 2020, an emeritus professor called a reporter at London’s Bureau of Investigative Journalism. Had she heard about a chemotherapy, crucial for children with the most common kind of childhood cancer, that was causing problems in South America? The drug, he said, had been found defective. Now he feared it was spreading. 
 
Join IAS Fellow and medical journalist Rosa Furneaux for this seminar revealing how her team’s investigative reporting revealed shocking lapses in global health security — from regulatory oversight to global supply chains to hospital purchasing — that put 70,000 children around the world at risk.
