Aggressors against medical workers will be fined 7,500 lei or even arrest for up to 15 days.

In the case of a simple insult, the fine will reach up to 1,250 lei.

A bill that provides for the protection of health workers was voted in second reading by deputies.

The document also stipulates that doctors, in turn, will be trained to have a better attitude towards patients.

Earlier this week, PDM chairman Vlad Plahotniuc was indignant about the recent case at Hospital no. 1 in the Capital, when a doctor was beaten by the husband of a deceased patient. The doctor suffered a cerebral concussion and some broken ribs.

In this respect, the Democrat leader asked PDM deputies to urgently vote on the law that provides harsh punishment for the assault of doctors.
