New Delhi: There is
a need for a medical protocol for treating victims of sexual
violence and doctors should be trained for it, Communist Party of
India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader Brinda Karat said here Monday.
"The gap remains in what women require and what they get. There is
not even a protocol on how doctors should treat a victim of sexual
violence," Karat said at the annual day function of People's
Health Foundation of India.
"Medical students should be trained on how to treat victims of
sexual violence and domestic violence," she said.
Karat also said the insurance-based medical system in India would
make it even more difficult for women to access healthcare.
Speaking on the occasion, Dulitha Nandanie Fernando, professor at
Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, said access to
healthcare was a major problem for women.
"Attention is needed on improving access, comprehensiveness and
responsiveness of healthcare for women," Fernando said.
