“The situation is too serious: we must ignore our differences and sit around the table because we are heading towards the death of the public hospital.” The sentence was released by Janine Carrasco, departmental co-secretary of the Solidaires union and member of Sud Santé Sociaux. If the inter-union is operating at full speed around the issue of emergencies in Carhaix, Sud Santé Sociaux today wants a common front to defend more broadly the resources granted to health and the public hospital.
“The Social Security financing bill for 2025 scares us very much: we have the impression that people who do not have the means will go to the public hospital when those who do will go to get treatment in the private,” continues the South Finisterian. Sylvain Madec, union representative at the CHU (university hospital center) of Brest-Carhaix, agrees: “When we welcome interns into the services, we are torn between the desire to tell them ‘don’t come’ and ‘ “We really need you.”
“Carhaix, an exemplary struggle”
It is also to defend the public hospital that the union is calling for the broadest possible mobilization in Carhaix, this Saturday, October 12, at 11:30 a.m. “Carhaix understood very quickly that for a mobilization to work, you need a union between the population, elected officials, employees and their unions. As such, Carhaix is leading an exemplary fight.”
