In 1991, a contaminated blood scandal broke out in France: several hundred patients were infected with AIDS and Hepatitis C after being given blood products or blood transfusions. Blood bank administrators, particularly those of the French National Centre for Blood Transfusions and the public authorities, were accused of having failed to take the necessary precautions to protect the population.Often described as the first French health crisis, the infected blood scandal induced political leaders to revamp the French health administration in such a way as to make health products safer to use. What caused this crisis? Was it negligence? Were financial interests given greater weight than the need to protect public health? Should blood be considered a drug? A multitude of conflicts lie behind the ideal of blood transfusion as an expression of national solidarity. The author analyses the numerous malfunctions of the blood transfusion system resulting from the industrialisation of blood products, as well as from the divergent interests of doctors, blood transfusion companies, patients, blood donors and public authorities. This richly documented work is the first to offer a historical study of one of the most serious health crises in France.
