Puglia doctors unions call strike after assaults

(ANSA) – BARI, 08 SEPTEMBER – Anaao Assomed and Cimo Fesmed proclaim a state of agitation and announce a joint demonstration planned in Foggia, for Monday 16 September, in the presence of national secretaries Pierino Di Silverio and Guido Quici. “Maruggio, Taranto, Erchie, Foggia. These are just the latest cases of violence suffered by doctors while carrying out their work. More than one a week. The latest, that of Foggia – explain the regional secretaries of Anaao Assomed, Angelo Mita and of Cimo-Fesmed, Arturo Oliva – is the pinnacle of a continuous and unstoppable escalation. Summits, meetings, decisions, up to now, have proven insufficient to counter a phenomenon that is constantly growing. We cannot waste any more time. This is why we proclaim a state of agitation”. “A necessary choice – add the company secretaries of the Policlinico di Foggia, of Anaao Fabrizio Corsi and of Cimo-Fesmed, Graziano Minafra – because today the minimum safety conditions to carry out our work on a daily basis are lacking”. The joint demonstration, which will also be attended by the national secretary of Anaao Assomed Pierino Di Silverio and the national secretary of Cimo Fesmed, Guido Quici, is scheduled for Monday 16 September, starting at 11:30, in via Martiri di via Fani near the entrance of viale Pinto of the Policlinico di Foggia.
