Hospital medical staffs work Thursday morning in a Saturday format in protest of recent cases of violence in medical centers. Protests and demonstrations are taking place in hospitals across the country with the participation of senior Ministry of Health officials. The director general of the ministry, Prof. Nachman Ash, said that this is a "difficult time", but the phenomenon is not new. "We have been dealing with it for a very long time. "In the last few months there have been a number of difficult incidents and there are a lot of small incidents that do not reach the eye of the media and our preoccupation is constant in this matter," he said in an interview.
He called on the government to declare a state of emergency and explained: "We have reached the red line. The call of all of us - including the doctors in the field - is that this phenomenon must be stopped. Unfortunately, this is a social phenomenon, not only related to the health system ".
About 150 doctors, doctors and medical staff gathered this morning at the entrance to the hospital tower of Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer for a protest rally against the background of the doctors' strike following the violence in the hospitals. Among those present were the director of the hospital, Prof. Itzik Kreis, and the head of the public health services, Dr. Sharon Elrai Price.
Dr. Noa Glick Fishman, a gynecologist at Assuta Hospital in Ashdod, where a protest also took place, said that "I am the senior doctor of the delivery room and also in the happiest place we bring babies, the pressure is so great." In violence. Not always physical violence, verbal violence, one misplaced word, intrusion into private space, demands. In fact, all these things do not help or make it easier for us, not to give the good treatment and certainly not to our good feeling. "
Prof. Ash also tried to describe the feelings of the medical staff: "Think of the doctor who is in the emergency room and instead of focusing on treating the patient, one should think that there might be an incident of violence if it happens this way and that way. It is impossible to treat like this."
According to him, the law enforcement system plays a key role in the continuation of the phenomenon - and even its aggravation. "The attackers are being investigated, released and the case is closed. It has to do with the police, the prosecutor's office and the judges. Everyone needs to understand that this way the phenomenon will just continue. I think it is the wrong treatment of violence. "In a much more assertive, determined way, it will get worse," he said.
Yesterday, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz announced that he would demand that police stations be set up in the hospitals, and the Medical Association clarified that without them, the protest would continue. Prof. Ash said this morning that "there are police in some hospitals, this is a government decision made a few years ago, we have been working for several months on a government decision to extend it to all hospitals. But it is only one step." "We have set up a committee that works for several months to check the whole process. It is not enough to have a police officer, there must be security guards, there must be a good security guard so that enough people come, then the police investigation will be very quick and indictments will be filed. Accused quickly. "
