SPAIN-HEALTH-HEPATITIS-DEMONSTRATION

Hepatitis C sufferers and supporters demonstrate outside Spain’s health ministry on December 27, 2014 complaining are being denied access to a new drug that could cure them of the deadly liver disease. People infected with the disease have been occupying the October 12 Hospital in southern Madrid for the past week demanding the public health service authorise doctors to prescribe the drug to whoever needs it.
