Policy and strategy development . The Department of Health should develop a comprehensive health sector policy to deal with domestic violence. Such a policy must clearly outline the roles and responsibilities of health care workers, the training required by health workers to implement the policy, a monitoring and evaluation strategy as well as a budget to effectively implement such a policy. It would be imperative that a policy of this nature should be developed in consultation with civil society organisations rendering services to victims of domestic violence to ensure effective networking and referral between role players concerned. It is Parliament's role to oversee that the policy is developed and implemented. . It was recommended that the Department of Health should develop a strategy to work with the Department of Police in ensuring that victims of domestic violence are taken to a medico-legal facility to have the incident reported officially. This, in turn, would require that health personnel should be adequately trained and competent in documenting the nature and extent of the injury and be able to testify in a court of law. . In the context of the HIV and AIDS pandemic, the Department of Health should develop a plan stipulating how the existing public communications campaigns will address domestic violence in the current messaging. A targeted strategy was required to deal with women in abusive relationships who had limited choices in terms of applying the Department's current prevention strategies (abstain, be faithful, use a condom).
