Infected Blood Scandal Online Memorial
The Factor 8 Online Memorial stands as a poignant and vital tribute to the lives lost due to HIV & HCV infected Factor VIII and Factor IX blood products. Our digital memorial is a powerful testament to the individuals behind the statistics, each with their unique story and legacy.
In an era where numbers often overshadow individual stories, our memorial brings a deeply personal dimension to the scandal. By featuring the faces of those who passed away, organised by the year of their death, we seek to show the human side of a complex story. These are not just numbers in a historical account; they are cherished family members, friends, and loved ones, each with a name, a face, and a story.
Every submission on the memorial has been made by a family member of the deceased person. This act of remembrance can be both a personal catharsis and a public statement, a way of declaring that these lives mattered and will always be a part of our collective memory.
Seeing the array of faces, each representing a unique life cut short by the contaminated blood scandal, is a stark reminder of the human cost. It brings into sharp focus the need for truth, justice, and recognition for all those impacted.
We invite and encourage family members who wish to see their loved ones included in this memorial to use the submission form linked at the top of the page. This memorial is an integral part of our mission at Factor 8, embodying our pledge never to forget and always honour the lives that were unjustly taken from us.
