News - Middle East: An inquiry into a decades-long infected blood scandal, in which thousands of people died in the United Kingdom after being treated with contaminated blood, is set to reveal its findings.

The final report, due to be published on Monday, is expected to decry politicians as well as health officials and institutions over what’s known as the biggest treatment disaster in National Health Service (NHS) history.
Inquiry chairman Brian Langstaff has previously said that “wrongs were done at individual, collective and systemic levels.”
Tens of thousands of people were infected with viruses such as HIV and hepatitis after receiving contaminated blood between the 1970s and early 1990s, the inquiry is expected to conclude.
Former Prime Minister Theresa May launched the inquiry in 2017.
Campaigners said Monday was the culmination of a decades-long struggle.
“We feel emotional at the moment in the sense that it’s like a 40-year-old fight, and it’s coming to an end and we’ve come to the end of our energy levels,” said the 61-year-old Suresh Vaghela, who was infected with both HIV and hepatitis C when he received a contaminated blood product while being treated for hemophilia when he was around 13 years old.
