LOREDO-ABDALA, Arturo et al. Integrated care for abused children: Implementation of a national strategy in research, training and medical care. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2009, vol.66, n.3, pp.283-292. ISSN 1665-1146.

The importance related to the topic of child abuse and neglect is considered. We focus here on the medical, social and legal aspects of this problem. It is easily understandable that the World Health Organization sees it as a global public health problem in view of its consequences: physical and emotional for the child and economic and social for the family and the community. In order to address this situation, the authorities for the pediatric community must develop a strategy for interdisciplinary, inter-institutional and even international overall care within the framework of standard professional activities in clinical care, teaching, and research. The clinical program for integral care of child abuse and neglect at the Mexican National Institute of Pediatrics, a third-level pediatric hospital, has been developed during the past 10 years.
