“It is essential to rely on health professionals as well as on all the stakeholders and actors involved in the safety of caregivers to think of effective measures that correspond to their expectations and their daily constraints”, explains Agnès Firmin Le Bodo.
“Particular attention will be paid in particular to the protection of caregivers working outside health establishments and to the support of victims”, continued the Minister Delegate.
In France, 37% of hospital health professionals say they regularly suffer physical attacks. This figure rises to 84% for caregivers, according to the MNH-Odoxa 2022 barometer. The National Observatory of Violence in Healthcare Environments (ONVS) has identified 19,328 reports of attacks on persons or property in 2021 and 34,550 professionals victims of this violence.
