Doctor from Cambodia sentenced to 25 years in prison for the spread of HIV
News24xx.com - The court in Cambodia sentenced the village doctor to 25 years in prison for infecting about 200 of his patients with the HIV virus, after which many of them died.
According to the findings of the investigation, the 56-year-old Yem Chrin did injections to villagers using non-sterile needles, which led to the spread of infection.
Initially, he was charged with murder, which threatened him with life imprisonment, but then the charge was re-qualified for manslaughter.
The defendant himself admitted to the court that he didn’t have a license for medical work, but denied that he deliberately spread the virus.
The doctor was arrested last December in a village in the north-west of Cambodia and placed under guard because of fears that the villagers would arrange lynching over him.
The health care system in Cambodia is still at a low level of development, and residents of rural settlements often have to betake to the services of doctors who don’t have medical education and a formal work permit.
