Punishment for attack on doctors and other medical staff need to be more serious. This was stated by Yevgeny Nifantev, a member of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the United Russia faction.
An attack on a doctor within the walls of a medical institution should be severely punished, the deputy stressed.
Tightening the penalty for attacking doctors, according to Nifantiev, will make it possible to protect doctors and medical staff. Recently, there have been more and more cases of attacks on doctors by patients or their relatives.
In this respect, it would be constructive to compare an attack on a medical professional to an attack on a police officer. in duty.
