In a speech by Emmanuel Macron, on March 12, 2020, at the start of the Covid-19 health crisis, the President of the Republic mentioned free health for all. “What this pandemic is already revealing is that free health care without condition of income, career or profession, our welfare state, are not costs or charges but precious goods and essential assets. when fate strikes. “
One year later, the inter-hospital collective returns to this commitment and challenges its author in a clip broadcast on social networks and produced in Rennes.
We understood, that there were goods and services which had to be placed outside the laws of the market, we are there and you?

In the video entitled “Letter to the President of the Republic of exhausted caregivers” broadcast on Youtube, we can hear the commitments of the time of Emmanuel Macron then follow one another of the faces of hospital staff holding signs which repeat the speech word for word. presidential with in the background, the song “sentimental crowd” by Alain Souchon. One way to launch a call for commitments to be kept.
Less declarations of love, more proofs of love!
One after this speech in which @EmmanuelMacron the ointment passed on to us, what results? What actions? Which Social Security financing law?

Cécile Farges, emergency pediatrician, member of the collective drew up a gloomy report on the state of public hospitals. “There are always a shortage of beds and staff“she said in the France 3 Brittany newscast,”the means are not up to par, neither the salaries nor the governance. The structures were already dilapidated before the Covid, I don’t know how it will be after the crisis!”

We must give ourselves time: profitability does not rhyme with humanity
In the emergency services, the nursing staff are always present but they are tired, we remain human but the crisis is long, we do not see the end of the tunnel, she added.
“It can be seen in all the departments: either there is a lack of a guard, a doctor or a nurse, we readjust the workforce on a daily basis like a game of dominoes to cope”! adds the professional.
“I want to thank Emmanuel Macron because he made the correct diagnosis on the hospitals but I ask him to let us treat” continues the pediatrician, “I don’t want us to keep coming home feeling like we did wrong because we did it too fast. We must give ourselves time: profitability does not rhyme with humanity.”
An alarming figure to take the measure of the malaise: there are 15,000 vacant positions in France in public hospitals. The sector is less and less attractive in terms of wages and working conditions. Many people are leaving and the recruitments are not there.
