ARROYO SANCHEZ, Gloriana. Valoración médico legal de la víctima de delito sexual. Med. leg. Costa Rica [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.1, pp.126-132. ISSN 2215-5287.
The medical care of victims of sexual assault is a challenge for healthcare professionals. It entails a comprehensive approach, looking not only to safeguard the patient’s physical and mental health, but also to properly carry out an expert assessment of all possible injuries and obtain evidence and biological material. Every individual involved in this process needs to recognize what their role is, what is the ideal time to perform the assessment, the most suitable space and what they should include in the evaluation, so that the information collected will serve as a tool in resolving the subsequent prosecution.
