Two hundred medical professional, working in both public and private sectors in the province were interviewed by a single operator. Descriptive analyses were carried out by using the obtained data.
Medical professional's perception about child abuse and neglect (CAN) is low and these professionals have poor attitude and knowledge toward CAN in accordance with the code of conduct and law. The available information and education is also poor.
The results obtained from the study showed that there is lack of knowledge and poor attitude and perception about CAN among medical professionals that prevents them from detecting and identifying suspected cases. Continuing medical education is required to enhance the ability of professionals to detect CAN cases.

医疗专业人员对虐待和忽视儿童（CAN）的认知较低，并且这些专业人员在行为准则和法律方面对CAN的态度和知识较差。可用的信息和教育也很匮乏。
研究结果表明，医疗专业人员对CAN缺乏知识，态度和认知较差，这妨碍了他们发现和识别疑似病例。需要持续医学教育以提高专业人员发现CAN病例的能力。
