Dutch authorities ban Rotterdam stem cell treatment: UK MS Society
The Dutch health care inspectorate has ordered the PMC clinic in Rotterdam to stop performing stem cell treatments for MS and other conditions. In a statement it said it had concluded PMC was not providing responsible care, because it is unable to demonstrate the origin, suitability and safety of the stem cells it used. This jeopardised the health and safety of patients. Among other things, it exposed patients to the risk of infection with HIV or Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease, allergic reactions, malignant tumours or rejection reactions. |
