The end of summer saw an increase in attacks on health workers from North to South The latest episode of August-September which was ‘dark’ for doctors and nurses took place inRiuniti Hospital of Foggia with the health worker locked in a room to escape the wrath of dozens of relatives and friends of the patient died after surgery. “The events at the Policlinico Riuniti in Foggia – commented Antonio De Palma, national president of Nurse Up – have reached a new record: it leaves us sad, and it is not easy. We have not seen 50 people who attacked all the doctors and nurses together, forced to barricade themselves in a room of a few square meters, even wounding one of them by kicking him in the face, in the throes, let us tell you, the real fits of madness that have characterized most of these news events. Moreover, it is very recent news that one of the professionals who were attacked decided to resign.”

In 2023 – according to Anao-Assomed data – in fact, there were 16 thousand leftof which a third is physical and in 70% of cases to women. According to the nurses’ union, Nurse Up,”kicks and punches they even seem to have ended up at the bottom of the shameful ranks of violent crimes. There are even top spots strangulation attemptthem hair pullingthe military body kicked at eye level, when they were numerous, in the name of holy terror, verbal death threats and even those the appearance of a gunFortunately for a toy, as happened last August 23 in Serd in Anzio, without forgetting the baseball bat that caused havoc on August 16th in the emergency room of San Leonardo in Castellammare”.
Proposals to stop violence
“The pot is full” is the subject of the appeals that have been launched by many health professionalsfrom medical associations to business associations up to the Federation of local health authorities and hospitals, Fiaso. A marriage that also brings many proposals, old and new, to stop violence against those who save lives. The new initiative in the forecasting process was billed by FdI Senator Ignazio Zullo and provides for a ‘daspo’, A fixed period of exclusion from free healthcare in the NHS for those who commit assaults on healthcare workers or crimes against healthcare assets. The goal, we read in the DDL, is “to send a strong and clear message on the importance of certain violent manifestations in the health sector” and on the other to “be part of prevention”.
The nursing group ‘Nurse Up’ asked instead “Immediate presence of soldiers in hospitals and an urgent meeting of the Public and Security Council of the Ministry of the Interior.” The group also remembers that “in the month of August, which we have just submitted, we evaluated 34 cases of violence, physical and mental, in 31 days. The doctors’ groups have said that they are “ready to write hospitals down” if there are no “urgent measures” against the attacks and those who carry them out. Anaao and Cimo are calling for a “unique plan to reform the health and emergency system” and immediately “a meeting with the Minister of Health to share urgent measures that can be taken as a prevention to these useless attacks”. the proposal of the president of Fnomceo, National Federation of Orders of Surgeons and Dentists, Filippo Anelli, But not that “we ask that hospital facilities and health facilities be video monitored in such a way as to use the penalties provided for by law. to attacks”, reflects Anelli.
The institution of flagrancy suspension “was originally designed to combat violence during sports events. Its scope was then expanded, until the writing of the new article 382-bis of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which provides for some specific crimes of domestic violence and il that require arrest in flagrante delicto – intervention of the Fnomceo – According to this Institute, anyone who, on the basis of the video-graphic document from which is undoubtedly true appears , the perpetrator, provided that the arrest is made no later than 48 hours after the fact “.
Fiaso instead aims for “decisive action by the police and judges with operational rules that allow us to continue with the immediate arrest of those responsible. Without preventive measures and time, the situation cannot change and the risk of it means resorting to repeated incidents of violence against those who, every day and in the midst of a thousand problems, ensure the citizens’ right to health.
