On 5 May 2000 an official at the High Commission for the Republic of Kenya in Ottawa stated that an assault victim in Kenya cannot be denied medical treatment for not having a P3 form.

A representative of the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF), a health-care organization based in Nairobi stated in a 5 May 2000 letter that

A victim can first get treated at a hospital or clinic, then get a report from the doctor, and take the report to a police doctor who will then use this information to fill the P3 form.

If injuries are not serious, and a police station is close by, the victim may report to the police, make a statement, get a P3 form and proceed to a hospital or clinic. In very serious situations the police may escort the P3 holder to the hospital.

This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
