Health Desk- 11 Dec, 2019: Aiming to provide healthcare
services and legal assistance to the oppressed women and children, government
installed One-Stop Crisis Centre (OCC) in some of the selected government
medical college hospitals.
The OCC system is now available at seven divisional cities
as well as in Faridpur and Cox's Bazar Medical College Hospitals under the
Multi-sectoral Programme of the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs to
prevent women repression.
These centers provide treatment facilities to the oppressed
and tortured women and children as well as offer policing and legal assistance,
forensic DNA test and mental counselling to rehabilitate them in the society.
The women and children, who are physically tortured,
violated or burnt get medical, legal and other assistances free of cost at the
OCC since the centres have doctors, police personnel, nurses, social welfare
department officials, counsellors and lawyers.
Project Director of the Multi-sectoral Programme under the
Ministry of Women and Children Affairs Dr Abul Hossain said the biggest
facility of the OCC is that a victim can get all sorts of services from the OCC
and he or she does not need to go to any other place for getting all necessary
services.
Dr Bilkis Begum, Coordinator of the OCC at Dhaka Medical
College Hospital, said with the limited space, it is not possible to
accommodate all the victims here at the OCC at DMCH. "If the trial process
is carried out in a much speedy manner, then the OCCs could have yielded much
more results."
According to the data published in the April, 2019 edition
of newsletter of the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, the number of
victims at the Nine OCCs in the first three months of 2019 increased by 9.13
percent compared to the victims, who gathered at the OCCs in the last quarter
of 2018.
