Hautes-Pyrenees. If I were president: “stop the bleeding from the hospital”

Published on

Rémy Trouches, 46, with a motor disability, is a volunteer at the APF France Handicap des Hautes-Pyrénées. He has worked in the sectors of culture, professional integration, higher education, and has been a press correspondent.

“If I were elected President of the Republic, I would stop the damage to public services, in particular the hospital, by giving it more human resources. Since 2008, hospitals have experienced successive waves of job cuts. Like us live longer but necessarily in good health, we are asking the hospital to treat more with less staff. The health crisis linked to Covid-19 has revealed the consequences of bed closures, not only of intensive care places occupied by Covid patients in recent years, not to mention the numerous deprogramming of consultations and surgical interventions in the various departments, due to a lack of places and staff. If I am elected president, I will stop this bleeding from the hospital and I will encourage the recruitment of ‘caregivers, nurses, surgeons and doctors, with decent salaries to avoid flight to the private sector’.
