The OSCC is a service centre established in all Emergency and Trauma Departments of government healthcare facilities to manage the survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect. — Nancy Shukri July 6, 2023 Rape victim denied medical exam due to no police report Nancy was responding to a series of Tweets by @serenespaghetti. In the thread, she said that she received a call from a friend on 5 July, saying that another friend was raped and they didn’t know what to do.
But when the said victim was brought to the hospital that night, the staff there denied them entry into the OSCC because they didn’t have a police report. They were told to make a police report at the police station first and only then can they come back to the hospital. Serene said that the entire experience was frustrating and exhausting. She reitereated that most people were told to not shower or clean themselves up after a rape incident to preserve the evidence on their bodies.
