This study aimed to obtain a description of clinical forensic cases in North Sulawesi in 2022. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. The resukts showed that the cumulative number of clinical forensic cases at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital in 2022 was 250 cases, consisting of 155 cases of traffic accidents, 59 cases of abuse, and one case of sexual violence. Victims consisted of 79% male sand 21% females. Most clinical forensic cases came to Prof. Dr. R. D Kandou Hospital in December (15%) and the least in April (3%). Most of the wound locations were found in the abdominal area (65%), followed in the back area (34%), and the least in the vaginal area (1%). In conclusion, traffic accidents were the most common clinical forensic cases in North Sulawesi. Most injuries were found in the abdominal area and the least in the genital area. Most of the victims were male. December 2022 donated the most clinical forensic cases. Only a few cases of sexual violence were brought to Prof. Dr. R. D.
