By CELIA W. DUGGER
In one measure of the progress that countries are making to combat domestic violence, the World Health Organization credited Malaysia with developing crisis centers for victims of child abuse and setting up services for survivors of domestic violence in all government hospitals. Mozambique has developed systems for recording the details of violent deaths and injuries. The W.H.O. report, "Third Milestones of a Global Campaign for Violence Prevention 2007," also said Brazil, Mexico and the United Kingdom had published their first national reports on violence and health.
