Hospital blamed for infections

Two administrators at a hospital in Dongtai, Jiangsu province, have been removed from their posts after 69 patients were infected with the hepatitis C virus.

A dialysis unit at Dongtai People's Hospital was determined to be responsible for the contamination, the city's information office said in a statement on Monday.

An initial investigation by an expert panel of specialists from the National Health Commission and provincial and city health authorities said that lax management at the hospital was to blame for the infections.
