Galician health centres must implement violence prevention measures within 6 months

Law 3/2026 amends Law 8/2008 on health in Galicia to require health centres to implement comprehensive prevention and protection measures against violence. These measures must be integrated into the healthcare system and applied within health centres, with a 6-month deadline for implementation (Art. 4). The objective is to strengthen the protection of consumers, users, and healthcare staff against violent situations.

In 2 key points

  1. Health centres must implement violence prevention measures within 6 months (art. 4)
  2. Measures must be integrated into the Galician healthcare system (art. 3.1)

How it affects those involved

Health centres in Galicia must adopt new violence prevention policies, directly affecting healthcare staff and users. Public health services face new administrative and training obligations. Health advisors must update their recommendations and protocols to include these measures. While users may benefit from a safer environment, they may also experience changes in care processes.
