In a press release published this morning, Actions Practitioners Hospital (APH) is alarmed by the immediate consequences of the various strikes announced by the interiors, liberal doctors and analytical laboratories on the organization of the public hospital. The inter-union paints a healthcare system in full collapse which results in institutional mistreatment of which it refuses to be an accomplice. He blacklists the supervisory authorities for his negligence, his lies and his lack of social dialogue.
Today is the strike of the medical biology laboratories of the city who invite patients to go to hospitals to carry out the tests without our preparation and without warning. This strike has a strong impact on hospital laboratories, but also on emergency services already subject to severe constraints. Some of our fellow hospital biologists have had to close their sampling centers in the face of the massive influx of patients requesting PCRs at the expense of patients being consulted. Some even report blocking access to their hospital due to traffic jams such as in front of gas stations. This strike is announced as renewable!
Today, medical trainees are on indefinite strike as politicians want to impose an extra year of study and restrictive facilities on them to plug the holes in medically deserted areas.
Today psychiatry and pediatrics are in shambles and the latter is experiencing a new health crisis, the unexpected consequence of a trivial annual epidemic for which the exceptional ORSAN EPI-VAC crisis management plan must be triggered.
As for the rest of the public hospital, does it collapse a little more every day, weighed down by the guilty inertia of guardianship and the government, which responds only intermittently without addressing the root of the problems?
Tomorrow the strike of general practitioners is announced, like that of our liberal specialist colleagues… Will it be brought forward?
Where will the patients go if not to the hospital emergency room and to the public hospital which will still have to respond to the sacrosanct mission of continuity of care? This compulsory, almost exclusive privilege is increasingly painful and almost always reserved for hospital actors.
The French health system is collapsing on all sides and instead of building a social dialogue essential to flattening problems and collectively addressing solutions from the ground, the government continues to oppose liberals and hospitallers, to challenge the obvious. This government has chosen to apply methods of the great debate type with communication to the population indicating that everything is under control when nothing is.
We have cared for most of the COVID patients with no equipment, no protection and with a dire shortage of hospital staff and beds. To thank us, the government proposed the SÉGUR which was to respond to the 2019 alert movements launched by all caregivers. Finally, in July 2020, the agreements were signed without taking into account the previous context in terms of hospital beds, such as the number of carers and doctors or the right assessment of their commitment to the health of our fellow citizens.
The absence of government-led social dialogue must be immediately and effectively corrected by stopping the palliatives and lies !
We went through the summer of 2022 again with so many emergency services holding up as best they could, so many healthcare facilities doing their best to maintain access to quality care and to ensure the safety of the patients we care about. take care.
We continued to fill care tables with understaffed doctors and caregivers, trying to fill gaps in our schedules. Entire services had to close in a deafening and inhuman silence. Patients waited for a hospital bed for more than ten days on stretchers in the emergency room with a loss of fortune that marked patients, families and caregivers with a red-hot iron.
We’ve come as far as we can, our resilience just died. We can’t take it anymore, worse, we can’t take it anymore and we won’t accept being accomplices to this organized institutional mistreatment.
Hospital medical and nursing staff are chronically understaffed with a growing shortage of beds. The vocation crisis and the departure of staff no longer seem to worry this government, which communicates that the situation is under control, ignores our problems and the sense of our commitment to quality assistance for all. Our professional burnout is trivialized.
Medical deserts are becoming legion. All of France has become a medical desert, at the mercy of an epidemic. Health insecurity is spreading and our solidarity health system, wanted and organized by the real CNR, at the service of every Frenchman, but also of the nation, is becoming solitary and deadly.
Action Praticiens Hôpital warns and shouts once again that we must quickly make sense of the commitment of doctors and health professionals of all specialties in the city, in the medico-social as well as in public hospitals.
Action Praticiens Hôpital is and will remain a force of proposals to analyze the care needs of the population, to propose innovative organizations in respect of our respective missions and in the benevolence we owe to patients and our teams.
There is no fatality. We offer observation and analysis in the field to find the way to the right care to which every French person is entitled and also to find the professional and personal quality of life to which every caregiver is entitled.
The territory is the right level of consideration of needs, as the psychiatric sector has demonstrated. However, if there is no real national will around a health policy consistent with the analysis of the health needs of the population, such as the health forces present, desertification could continue. General statements or meetings on health in general with a focus on certain specialties such as paediatrics, psychiatry, biology, etc. they seem essential to us.
