Johns Hopkins Hospital

Johns Hopkins Hospital took Henrietta Lacks' cervical cells in 1951 without her knowledge. While the hospital states it never sold or profited from the HeLa cell lines, its historical involvement is central to the origin of the legal disputes.

Johns Hopkins Hospital was the intended destination for Nkanu Nnamdi Esege's transfer for specialist medical care in the United States, but the transfer did not occur due to his death following procedures at Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital.
