It covers all medical institutions, including private hospitals and nursing homes, and the staff working there such as doctors, nurses, and students. The Act makes it illegal to harm these people or damage medical equipment. Offenders face up to three years in prison, heavy fines, and must pay double the cost of any damaged property.
