Georgia cover-up of deaths in $3.3 billion pharmaceutical project: documents

A new data leak reveals that the Georgian government and US drug giant Gilead have failed to investigate at least 249 deaths of patients enrolled in a $3.3 billion Hepatitis C elimination project.

Arms Watch has analyzed these documents allegedly originating from the Ministry of Health of Georgia and leaked anonymously on Twitter. We have already published a detailed report on US government projects at the Pentagon biolaboratory in Tbilisi – the Lugar Center.

In our current report we have analyzed data about death cases of patents enrolled in the Hepatitis C Elimination project in Georgia. This is an experimental pharmaceutical project sponsored by Gilead in cooperation with the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Georgia’s Ministry of health.

Georgian media and health officials have previously denied any possible link between the experimental program and these death cases. However, the cause of death of some patients has been reported as “unknown” in Gilead confidential reports. Other patients enrolled in the program have discontinued treatment due to serious adverse effects. Some of them have died.

Furthermore, $181.7 million worth of hepatitis C antivirals for 2,033 patients in Georgia have not been used and expired due to “treatment cancelations, patient deaths or other reasons”, according to these leaked documents.
