Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - Today, one of the most common unpleasant cases in the healthcare system is illegal attacks on medical workers by patients and their close relatives. According to the data obtained, in 2018-2019, more than 400 cases of illegal acts were committed, such as the use of force against medical workers, causing bodily harm to them.
Today, the real situation has come to a more deplorable state. It got to the point that in medical institutions, especially in the emergency and emergency medical care system, such cases began to occur almost every day.
The analyzes show that in the current criminal law the measures of responsibility for assaulting medical workers performing their duties and causing bodily harm in such cases are relatively easy. As a result, sometimes those responsible for causing irreparable damage to the health of medical workers, in reality, remain completely unpunished. As you can see, an effective way to prevent such cases is to increase responsibility for such illegal actions.
On this basis, at the initiative of the Ministry of Health, with the help of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, a draft law “On Amendments to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan” was developed.
Despite the fact that the very complex process of coordination with various ministries and departments required a long and hard work, this process was completed and on 4 October, the draft law was submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers for consideration in the prescribed manner.
With the adoption of the draft law in relation to the perpetrators of such attacks, penalties in the form of restriction of liberty from three to five years or imprisonment from three to five years may be applied. It is thought that this measure will have tremendous preventive power in preventing attacks that have turned into almost daily cases today.
For the doctor will never act to the detriment of the patient, he always tries to do good to the person, uses all the strength, knowledge and abilities to protect the health of the patient in need of help, save his life in emergency situations.
Therefore, an important task of the state and society is to prevent injustice and lawlessness in relation to the selfless representatives of the profession and their honest work, creating the necessary conditions for their effective work. We hope that the proposed amendment to the law will be an important step towards solving such pressing problems.
