Rights of Victims of Crimes against Sexual Freedom and Human Dignity / Law 360 of 1997
At Clínica del Campestre, we respect the law and, along with it, the rights of individuals who are victims of sexual crimes and crimes against human dignity.
According to the regulation, victims of these crimes have the right to receive dignified treatment during medical assessments, receive professional guidance, and undergo a free examination, including necessary treatment for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS.
