N2  - It is estimated that at least 50,000 children are victims of child abuse each year in The Netherlands. Approximately 40 of these children die. Doctors, in cooperation with other disciplines, have a role in signalling child abuse in hospitals. Education must improve and enhance the knowledge and skills in this field. Hospital directors should facilitate education to achieve and maintain this knowledge and enable it to be put into practice. Better signalling procedures will result in quicker and more adequate treatment of these children. The number of fatal cases will then decrease as well.<p /> <p>Language: nl</p>
