Child maltreatment (CM) is common worldwide, and can take many forms. It may even endanger the child's life, especially when younger children are the victims. CM affects the child's quality of life and consequently leads to long term issues to be dealt with by the child, family and community. This case series discusses six children who have been subjected to CM, and diagnosed by the child protection team of the departments of Child Health and Behavioural Medicine at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH), Oman. The aim of this case series is to increase the level of awareness of CM among Oman's medical professionals and to highlight the difficulties encountered in diagnosing and providing optimal care for these children. Although treatment is provided in Oman's health care system, it is clear that there are gaps in the existing system which affect the quality of child protection services provided to the children and their families.
儿童虐待在全球范围内都很常见，且形式多样。它甚至可能危及儿童生命，尤其是年幼儿童成为受害者时。儿童虐待会影响儿童的生活质量，进而导致儿童、家庭和社区需要应对长期问题。本病例系列讨论了六名遭受儿童虐待的儿童，他们由阿曼苏丹卡布斯大学医院（SQUH）儿童健康与行为医学系的儿童保护团队诊断。本病例系列的目的是提高阿曼医学专业人员对儿童虐待的认识水平，并突出在诊断这些儿童以及为其提供最佳护理方面遇到的困难。尽管阿曼的医疗保健系统提供了治疗，但现有系统显然存在差距，影响了向儿童及其家庭提供的儿童保护服务质量。
