The anger has not subsided after the announcement on Friday and the closure of the emergency room on Saturday evening: Bernard Uthurry the mayor believes that “the staff are devastated and the population distraught” but wants to remain combative.
For him, this closure for lack of doctors is “an abandonment of territory that does not say its name”. The ARS is doing everything it can to maintain a service, even degraded, but it fears with this decision to close a failure to take care of all the people who will need it with all the resulting risks..
The mayor of Oloron Sainte Marie will send a letter to the President of the Republic so that he “passes from intentions to action” since he says he is concerned about the territories. We must ensure a better distribution of doctors throughout the country and allocate more resources where we need them, he said.
Worried about the future of the hospital Bernard Uthurry calls for a support rally tomorrow Tuesday morning in front of the sub-prefecture.
