Loreto Gesualdo, the president of the Italian Federation of Medical-Scientific Societies (Fism), has proposed legislation to suspend free access to medical care for three years for those who assault healthcare workers or damage health facilities.
Fism reported more than 16,000 verbal and physical attacks against doctors and nurses in Italian hospitals in 2023 alone.
I also don’t see how the cause would warrant or excuse aggression or assault.
Soldiers/Police protecting staff ensures they can work. assault and lack of protection does the opposite.
