Survey on violence in healthcare facilities
This year the IHF Secretariat has undertaken a survey among its members to measure the scope of the problem of violence in healthcare facilities and to identify the existing measurement tools in place or developed, and the programs adopted to fight against violence. This survey was initiated after the adoption of the resolution “Fighting violence in health services” during the General Assembly held in November 2017. The objective is to prepare proposals for international actions that will help to express more effectively the concerns of service providers, and recommendations for addressing violence in healthcare organizations.
