Medicines And Drugs Deteriorate in Communist Hungary The use of dangerous and often fatal drugs is reported in Communist1 Hungary' by a former health worker who recently' escaped to Western Germany, the U. S. Information Agency isaid in a wireless file dispatch to its overseas post. The Information Agency quoted the escapee as saying that while ’high-ranking Communists receive “luxury hospitalization” and are protected by drugs and medicines imported from the Free World, the average Hungarian is exposed to medical errors resulting from the Soviet system of Communist state control of all industry. The dispatch said: “A former Hungarian health wor> ker declared that imperfectly compounded drugs which fail to control pain in surgery are now commonplace in Hungary.” “He related that Communist inefficiency has increased to such a point1 that ‘almost entirely unreliable,’ and, in many instances, ‘dangerous’ medicines are being distributed through official Channels to the Hungarian people. One serum distributed for ánnoculation of children, he said, caused numerous deaths in Budapest. “The health worker said he knew1 of doctors in Budapest — ‘men whom I knoyv to be sincere in their efforts’ — who are ‘extremely apprehensive' every time they give an injection. One example of ‘criminally dangerous’ medicines of which he knew, he said, was marked ‘glanduitrin,’ one batch of which contained a subitanee which killed a number of persons injected with it before doctors yvere able to trace the reason for the disaster. “The major reason for the bad medical situation, he said, is the) Communist regime’s speed-up emphasis and quota work competitions. The result is a situation where many Hungarian doctors fear that a prescribed medicament may do more; to endanger a patient than the disease from which he suffers.”----------<4 5 5 ---------BRANCH 98 Bethlehem, Pa.
