SHANGHAI: Authorities in the city of Shanghai have arrested the former deputy health commission chief, Chinese prosecutors said, at a time when China’s health sector has come under the spotlight for widespread corruption in the country.
Huang Fengping, formerly second in command of the city’s Commission of Health and Family Planning, was arrested on Wednesday for “suspected crimes,” the city’s prosecution service said in a statement on its website.
The arrest comes as China steps up its scrutiny into corruption in the medical sector, with attention especially on graft in the pharmaceutical and infant milk formula markets.
