In 2025, 3,767 doctors resigned from Italian hospitals, exceeding the 2,876 who retired, according to the Anaao Assomed union. Resignations jumped about 150% in a single year. The union attributes the exodus to grueling shifts, low pay, burnout, and violence in hospital wards, describing a worsening staffing crisis in Italy's public health service.
Why now: The scale and speed of the resignation surge among Italian hospital doctors is alarming and points to a deepening healthcare staffing crisis.
