Hits: 1362 Comments (1)Transfused Victims
It's time to advocate for Transfused Hep C victims. In the U.K compensation has been granted on compassionate grounds and the opposition did not oppose this. This leaves Australia as the only first world country to ignore its Transfused Victims. How about some proper ADVOCACY for these victims . Imagine it was your mother who contracted this after a short visit to hospital. Would you want her lumped in with the I.V drug users . I think not.
