The independent privately-funded inquiry called the use of contaminated blood products to treat patients with haemophilia a "horrific human tragedy".
The report suggested UK authorities had been slow to react, but accepted it was hard to directly apportion blame.
In the 1970s and 1980s, nearly 5,000 people were exposed to hepatitis C.
Of these, more than 1,200 were also infected with HIV.
Almost 2,000 of those people have since died as a result.”

In France, Dr Samuel Claude who is an oral surgeon denounced the dangers of dental contamination while exposing the case of contaminated blood.
By doing so he was removed from his duties and banned for life.
My work is divided between fine arts photography and documentary. I consider photography to be a personal expression but also a reflexion. My images are about concepts that question not only the subject (what is seen) but the photographer himself through his work and the medium that is used to produce such concepts.

about the photographer
I was born in Beirut - Lebanon in 1977. I wanted to be a graphic designer in the purpose to design CD booklets and posters. In 1995 i went to Brussels for two years to study Typography and Graphic Design at La Cambre (school of visual arts in Brussels). After it, i returned to my country and had my degree in Mass Media - Publicity at the Lebanese University. In 2001 i moved to France where i live now, and had my master degree in Communication-Publicity. Then i dropped all my publicity studies out of interest, but the passion to produce an image was still a need inside me, so i turned naturally into photography. In 2012 i had my degree in Fine Arts - Photography at the University of Paris 8.My work is divided between fine arts photography and documentary. I consider photography to be a personal expression but also a reflexion. My images are about concepts that question not only the subject (what is seen) but the photographer himself through his work and the medium that is used to produce such concepts.
