  • Title: Sexual abuse of children presenting to the Children's outpatient Department of Port Moresby General Hospital.
    Author: McClelland A, Polume H.
    Journal: P N G Med J; 1990 Sep; 33(3):203-6. PubMed ID: 2080670.
    Abstract:
    Over a one-year period in the Children's Outpatient Department of Port Moresby General Hospital 23 cases of child sexual abuse were diagnosed. 20 (87%) were female. The perpetrator was known to be a male relative or acquaintance in 14 (61%) cases. The patients presented either with a history or overt signs of sexual abuse. With increasing awareness of child sexual abuse as a significant problem in paediatrics there will be an increase in the frequency of diagnosis of this condition in Papua New Guinea.
