There are some 3,000 attacks on
doctors and medical staff in Italy each year, the medical
federation FIASO said after fresh attacks in Naples, Rome and
near Bari Monday. INAIL, the workplace accident insurance
agency, saw 1,200 cases reported last year by itself, FIASO
said. "Attacks in hospitals and public walk-in centres are an
emergency that requires emergency responses, starting with a
stiffening of penalties for those who attack the operators of
health companies," the federation said.
