This measure will take effect on Thursday, April 27. The operating theater will also be closed for a week.
From Thursday April 27 at 8 p.m., no more deliveries can take place at the Saint-Affrique maternity hospital, until May 8 inclusive. The director of the hospitals of Saint-Affrique and Millau Sylvie Marty confirmed this measure, and specifies that this measure does not concern “gyneco-obstetrical consultations, pediatrics, ultrasounds and pregnancy follow-ups“, according to Le Progrès Saint-Affricain. This “temporary suspension of activity” also concerns the operating theater of the Saint-Affricain hospital, which will close from May 1 to 8.
This action was taken because of a “lack of collaboration between the staff of the two hospitals“of Saint-Affrique and Millau, had denounced the inter-union which had held a public meeting on Friday April 14. “The management highlights a recruitment problem, which is national, for paramedical and medical positions to justify the disintegration of the care offer and the closure of services“, denounced to Midi Libre Christine Mercier, secretary of the CFDT section, for whom this lack of personnel leading to these service closures is “organized”.
