Gillian Armstrong-Crews
Gillian Armstrong-Crews was a victim of the contaminated blood scandal in Australia, contracting hepatitis C through a tainted blood transfusion in the early 1980s while trying to conceive. Her illness, which baffled medical professionals for years, ultimately weakened her health significantly. Armstrong-Crews passed away in 2025 from unrelated causes, but her struggle highlighted the ongoing fight for justice and compensation for thousands of Australians similarly affected by the scandal.
