Tissues from Slovakia wandered to Germany

After the scandal with selling of blood plasma from Slovakia another one appeared with the export of human tissues. In both cases, not domestic patients, but foreign purchasers received the preference. Part of tissues collected in Slovakia ended in Germany, where they were exported by the private company Tissue Research Institute. The permission for taking and the contract on cooperation with the Healthcare Surveillance Authority was given to company in March 2009. In April this year Authority terminated the contract on cooperation for the breaching of main condition that taken tissues will be used primarily in Slovakia.
