ABSTRACT
The Pan American Health Organization and Amnesty International have called on governments to do more to protect health care workers, for example, by distributing simple, accessible information to combat the spread of misinformation. The authors found that the injury rate was higher in rural and remote areas than in urban areas and that a decline in firearm-related injuries occurred over the study period. Out-of-hospital disputes were also an important cause of serious hospital violence (11%). [...]interviewed health care workers expressed an urgent need for legislation, increased security, and training to handle disputes to prevent the violent incidents against health care workers and protect their safety.
