Doctors who carry out swab checks in CABA will suspend care in the Febrile Emergency Units (UFU) from this Sunday after the attack suffered this Saturday by a professional at the Santojanni Hospital, reported the Association of Municipal Doctors (AMM).
“In view of the acts of violence manifested in the last hours at the UFU and in the absence of an executive response from the authorities, the AMM decided to suspend attention to them until the requested security measures are taken to guarantee a safe scenario” , the union explained in a statement.
The WMA stressed that the guards “will only perform swabs with hospitalization criteria” and detailed that union measures “will increase depending on the response obtained.”
The union assured that this cessation of activities “is necessary to preserve the integrity of our colleagues”.
The WMA decided to suspend care in the 20 UFUs until the safety of health professionals is guaranteed.
The attack occurred within the framework of the strong increase in swabs from suspected cases of Covid-19 in CABA, which generated delays in both actions and results.
