HOW TO DEAL WITH DOMESTIC ABUSE WITH DR. VASU SIVA
b'
Dr Siva suggests that we have to continue to stay safe while the pandemic is still with us. We should keep our distance, wash our hands and wear a mask in crowded places. But there is also another concern - an epidemic that many have to deal with - Domestic Violence. As a GP, Visu is acutely aware of the other stuff going on for her patients. A survey that you can complete will help the understanding of domestic abuse in the general population. You can do the survey too. It will help. See the link below.
