摘要
This study investigated the attitudes of medical students towards female genital mutilation (FGM). The students agreed that it is a priority health problem in the community. As physicians, 61% said they would not perform it on their patients and 17% would join any group fighting this practice. While still students, 52% said they would fight its practice within their families, and 26% planned to initiate action against it, It was not considered a problem at all by 22% of the students surveyed.
