Mesures prises:

Within the framework of its “Health Care in Danger” campaign to address the issue of violence against healthcare in Italy, which is part of the broader RCRC initiative, the Italian RC has carried out the following activities in the reference period:

  • Advocacy activities for the approval of law 113/2020 on “”Safety Provisions for Health and Social Care Professionals in the Performance of their Functions”, which, among other things, established the National Observatory on the Safety of health and social care practitioners” within the Ministry of Health, with a view of monitoring incidents of violence, promoting studies and analysis for the formulation of suitable proposals and measures to reduce risk factors in the most exposed environments as well as promoting the exchange of good practices among relevant actors to address such phenomenon. In 2024, the Italian RC became a member of such National Observatory
  • Publication of an annual report on the data of the Observatory on the violence against Italian RC staff and volunteers providing healthcare service, which was established in 2018 to allow Italian RC staff and volunteers to report instances of violence, aggression threats, and/or damage to healthcare vehicles and facilities. The annual report identifies the main trends and situations in which such incidents occur while outlining the mitigation and risk reduction measures undertaken, with a view to consolidating and disseminating good practices and lessons learned
  • 3 protocols were signed with Italian associations/organizations working on health-related issues (i.e. the Italian Federation of Primary Care Physicians, the National Board of Psychologists, and the Regional Company for Health Emergencies in Lazio), to carry out joint dissemination activities on the protection of healthcare personnel
  • n. 6 Specialization trainings carried out for Italian RC IHL volunteers on themes relating to the “Health Care in Danger” campaign
  • Participation in the Steering Committee of the ICRC-commissioned study on emblems and other distinctive signs to protect healthcare, along with representatives of other NSs
