general practitioners, laboratories and public hospitals continue their mobilisation

There has been no miraculous cure for the health system, despite the promises of Emmanuel Macron, on Friday in front of the carers of the Corbeil-Essonnes hospital. The mobilizations are growing, be they general practitioners, laboratories or even public hospitals. It will be difficult to receive treatment this week. General practitioners continue their mobilization. They demonstrated on Thursday to ask in particular for an increase in the price of the consultation up to 50 euros. The Minister of Health, François Braun, has already announced that this will not be the case.

Over 90% of laboratories will be closed throughout this week

So the practices will stop this week, as explained by Noëlle Cariclet, spokesperson for the Medici collective for tomorrow. “Our strike continues, i.e. the toilets will reopen on Monday with limited activity, the permanent assistance strike continues. We will carry out actions in crescendo, week after week, which will come to accumulate to continue to put pressure on these treaty negotiations and try toawaken the state to the real problems in the field of the health system”.

Invited this Sunday morning to the microphone of Europa 1, Patrick Pelloux, president of the Association of Emergency Physicians of France, provides an edifying observation of our healthcare system. “We have peri-infant mortality which is catastrophic, we are at the level of certain developing countries because we have closed too many maternity wards. There we know that this summer we had an excess mortality of 10,000. So the ministry took refuge behind the heat wave, not to mention that there was the problem of access to care, there you have an excess of mortality with the flu and Covid,” he explains.
