Avellino – Another night of violence at the REMS di Saint Nicholas Barony where a patient went berserk, attacking two nurses who were trying to stop him.
The incident occurred last night and required the intervention of the Carabinieri to restore calm. Both the attacker and the two health workers were injured and were transported to the hospital in Ariano Irpino.
This latest episode comes in an already critical context: just a few days ago, a patient died after falling from a bridge. Numerous other episodes of violence and suicide attempts have alerted unions and institutions to the precarious situation within the facility.
The Fials union reiterated the need for urgent interventions to guarantee the safety of patients and operators, announcing new legal initiatives.
The latest episode raises questions about the management of the facility and the need to strengthen assistance and surveillance services.
