Abstrakt:	In February 2008, trained female interviewers collected data on sexual violence and use of medical services following sexual assault from 607 women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Exposure to sexual violence during the DRC's civil war was reported by 17.8% of the women; 4.8% of the women reported exposure to sexual violence after the war. Few sexual assault survivors accessed timely medical care. Facility assessments showed that this care was rarely available. Clinical care for sexual assault survivors must be integrated into primary health care for DRC women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
