Violence against healthcare workers

摘要

The objective of SICOT is "to promote the advancement of the science and art of orthopaedics and traumatology at international level in particular for the improvement of patient care; to foster and develop teaching, research and education; to facilitate and encourage exchange of professional experience and to promote good fellowship among its members."We all agree that we must work towards progress in this endeavour. This also involves fighting against unacceptable acts, which are bringing mankind back to the dark ages.Facing the daily trivialisation of violence and its worldwide spread, it is our duty to react against one of the most abhorrent forms of violence: the aggression towards healthcare personnel.
