Law to protect health professions: necessary measures against violence
Berlin in alarm state! In recent years, violence against medical staff has exploded! Emergency doctors and rescue workers are attacked on the open street while desperately saving lives. The President of the Federal Medical Association, Dr. Klaus Reinhardt, raises the alarm and urgently demands measures! "A social brutalization does not stop at our doctors - that is unbearable!"
more and more frequently there are scandalous incidents in emergency outpatient clinics: uninvolved mobbing the staff, and even the smallest nullities lead to violent clashes. Statistics prove a dramatic increase in attacks - here it bubbles huge!
legal tightening on the way
The medical associations are working hard to improve the situation. From training courses for de -escalation to security training for medical staff - they are at the front in the fight against violence. And now the federal government finally seems to act: A law to protect enforcement officers and rescue workers is on the agenda! "An important sign of appreciation for all those who work in health care", so Reinhardt.
But that's not enough! The investigative authorities and courts must finally wake up! We have to exhaust the legal possibilities and consistently pursue attacks on the medical specialists. The police urgently need more resources so that perpetrators understand that such attacks are not cavalier offenses, but serious crimes that are hard punished!
demand for more support
In addition, nationwide reconnaissance campaigns are necessary in order to put an end to violence against health professions. The Federal Center for Health Education could help with tailor -made programs. After all, doctors and nurses are under immense pressure every day - often there is simply no time to officially report insults.
We need a simple system to document attacks quickly and easily! Online platforms that enable a quick message could be crucial for this! Dr. Klaus Reinhardt and the Medical Association clearly demand: "It is high time to act!"
