Abstract

The Contaminated (or Tainted) Blood Scandal was a worldwide event that infected many people, including People with Haemophilia (PwH), with blood-borne diseases (Lee, 2015). This has had a significant psychological impact on the families involved, alongside the physical and financial toil. Although some studies have focused on those directly affected, both PwH, their families, and the community, very little is known about the intergenerational impact. This narrative review explores the impact on the children of PwH affected by the contaminated blood, demonstrating a significant gap in the understanding of the families’ experiences.
