Professor Didier Raoult announces that he will leave the IHU for a Chinese university

Adored by some, strongly criticized by others for his treatment against Covid-19 based on hydroxychloroquine, Didier Raoult plans to leave Marseille. The professor who currently heads the University Hospital Institute (IHU) in infectious diseases located in La Timone has been recruited by the Peking University Health Science Center (PUHSC) , the faculty of medicine of Peking University, says the journal Entreprendre . He should settle there by the end of the summer.

“I was indeed recruited as a professor by the Peking University (PUHSC), the most renowned faculty of medicine in the country, which happens to be very advanced in the field of virology , writes the scientist to Robert Lafont , CEO of the Lafont presse-Entreprendre press group. It has become very complicated to undertake research projects in the health field in France, the sector being plagued by partisan quarrels, the sprawling bureaucracy and the politically correct, “he argues to justify his choice. Aged 68, he has retired from university since 2018. His departure from the IHU, which he directs on a voluntary basis, has been regularly announced since that same date.
