Proposal of Solution and Call to Action:

1) Display information on domestic violence in the waiting rooms and washrooms of Klinik Kesihatan and hospitals

3) Train healthcare providers to recognise, respond to, and refer cases of domestic violence
4) Establish a referral system for domestic violence at the primary healthcare level
