About the webinar:
One criteria of the Barnahus is that a medical evaluation is carried out to ensure a victim’s right to health and to secure forensic evidence for investigative purposes. As part of its medical services, a Barnahus or similar setup should also provide treatment and referrals to specialists as integral parts of its service.
The 3-part webinar mini-series will explore the many considerations for meeting the medical evaluation criteria for Barnahus:
