In Aulnay-sous-Bois, the Robert Ballanger Intercommunal Hospital Center had to take a drastic measure. Of 6 p.m. to 8 a.m.emergency teams will only be able to take care of so-called “lying down” patients, that is to say transported by the Samu or the firefighters, from April 24 to May 2.

A hospital on the edge

This summer, the emergency department had already had to restrict its admissions for a month.

In a long message, Christophe Prudhomme, doctor at Samu 93 and related regional adviser La France insoumise (LFI), recalls that this same hospital had closed its emergency room “in September following the work stoppage of most of the nursing staff. due to exhaustion”.

In his long note, the doctor points out the slow agony hospital services in France and the political measures that he considers harmful, such as the very recent Rist law, which came into force on Monday 3 April.
