Coronavirus is hitting doctors and nurses hard. Yet on the recognition of the work injury for Coronavirus, a disturbing scenario opens up that sees doctors with rights and others without. A gigantic judicial litigation is also likely to open with the enormous anger of thousands of professionals who are at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic. This is the complaint contained in the letter sent to the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte and to the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, by the Italian Federation of Trade Union Doctors Uniti-Fismu following a legal opinion by the lawyer Antonio Puliatti on the Inail Circular no. 13 of April 3, relating to the so-called affiliated doctors. There is talk of general practitioners, pediatricians and outpatient specialists (parasubordinated). In the shadow cone, which comes from dozens of controversies of the past, all those doctors who for the Italian State are called parasubordinated, therefore precisely general practitioners (family, 118, continuity of care), pediatricians and outpatient specialists that although they are not employees have a public function, in all respects, in our health care as well as being an essential bulwark in the health emergency for weeks.

Serie A and Serie B
«With the serious Coronavirus crisis, and the current legislation, we will have some” heroes “and many others” forgotten “: doctors of series A with rights and others of series B, without rights – warns Francesco Esposito, secretary general Fismu – Let’s talk about frontline doctors who have already paid tribute to human lives. Professionals who often, as happens for those who work in clinics and in 118, work side by side with their colleagues who are instead fully protected. An injustice already found for this area of white coats also on the failure to grant parental leave, fundamental at this stage to protect all doctors, but also health professionals of other specialties of the NHS. now we await answers: an urgent legislative solution. In this case too, we would like the unitary spirit to prevail with the other unions and that Fnomceo was the spokesperson and amplifier of our criticism and our proposals. We give serious and concrete answers to the question of security, equity and justice of Italian doctors “.
