Sources: 8. Developments: 2. The regional government of Andalucía is implementing measures to combat aggression against healthcare professionals following a rise in incidents. In 2025, 1,976 attacks were recorded in the region, with approximately 80% being verbal. To address this, the Junta de Andalucía plans to approve a decree law by the end of the year. This legislation includes a sanctioning regime that operates independently of criminal proceedings, featuring fines of up to 60,000 euros. The law aims to provide legal protection to victims, allow for anonymous reporting, and address issues such as cyberbullying and recidivism. Complementing these legislative efforts, territorial working groups for the Observatory of Aggressions against Public Health System Professionals have been established in provinces such as Granada and Seville. These groups are designed to analyze, monitor, and evaluate aggression at the provincial level. In Granada, representatives noted specific risks faced by public health veterinarians, while in Seville, the focus is on identifying high-risk factors and improving notification and registration circuits to foster safer environments. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-30: Andalusia establishes working groups to monitor healthcare professional aggression New territorial working groups have been formed in Granada and Seville to monitor and prevent aggression against public health professionals in Andalusia, Spain. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/andalusia-establishes-working-groups-to-monitor-healthcare-professional-aggression ### 2026-09-25: Andalucía to fine healthcare aggressors up to 60,000 euros Andalucía will implement a new decree law by year-end to protect healthcare workers, introducing fines up to 60,000 euros and independent sanctioning processes following nearly 2,000 recorded attacks in 2025. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/andaluca-to-fine-healthcare-aggressors-up-to-60000-euros --- Cite as: Healthcare professional aggression in Andalucía.
