Two people were arrested in connection with the assault on an anaesthetist at the Vega Baja Hospital. The couple, parents of a child who had recently undergone surgery, attacked the doctor after a dispute. The victim sustained serious injuries and required immediate medical attention.
The Civil Guard launched an investigation following the incident and arrested the suspects. The woman was released on bail due to her child’s needs, while the man appeared before a court before being released on bail.
The attack has sparked widespread condemnation and calls for increased safety measures for healthcare professionals. The Civil Guard has been working on a plan to improve the safety of medical centres and their staff.
Professional associations and trade unions have expressed their outrage over the incident and demanded stronger penalties for attackers. A protest rally was held at the hospital to show solidarity with the victim and to raise awareness about the issue of violence against healthcare workers.
