Why is it important?
The process of notification and counseling can affect the health quality of life among healthy donors and those infected with hepatitis B and C. Hepatitis B and Cinfection can also affect the health quality of life among carriers of these viruses.
Perspectives
We are confident that studies that provide a broader knowledge of health quality of life among healthy and infected blood donors can aid the implementation of public health policies not only by providing a broader and more comprehensive approach by health professionals but also by promoting a more dignified and humanized approach to these individuals.
