Abstract     WHO defines Quality of Life as an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns. Most assessment in medicine are obtained by examinations by health workers and laboratory tests. The WHOQOL instruments, by focusing on individuals' own views of their well being, provide a new perspective on disease. They not only inquire about the functioning of people but also how satisfied the patients are with their functioning and with effects of treatment.
