FGM Treatment

 

Women and girls from the FGM practising communities have the same right of access to National Health services as everyone other resident in the United Kingdom, these women must be treated sympathetically.

 

Currently there are several specialist clinics in the United Kingdom, however in today's society it is becoming increasingly more likely that women will not live close to a specialised centre. The following pages aim to provide advice and guidance on what to do should you come into contact with a woman who has undergone FGM.
