Two days after the announcement of the Minister of Health to try to get out of the crisis, nearly 600 hospital staff from all over France marched in Paris at the call of the union. For the CGT, the "refoundation" promised by Agnès Buzyn is not only insufficient but must concern the entire hospital.

" We want arms, beds and cash, " the protesters chanted. Three requirements that the minister did not answer , they say.

This is all the public hospital needs for Corinne Panot. She is a caregiver in a nursing home, a nursing home for the elderly in Mirecourt, in the north-east of France.

" Emergencies have opened up the highway of strikes and protest, " she says. But I think inevitably the Ehpad will follow because there is no way to care for patients, residents. "

" Look after other hospital services "

" Save your hospital, one day it will save you. This is the slogan chosen by Sandrine Respot. This nurse in pneumology came from Draguignan in the Southeast. She also thinks of joining the movement because she believes that a hospital is a machine and that we can never relieve emergencies if we do not care for other services.

" If there are no open beds in the services and if we keep closing them, it's like a supermarket checkout. If there is no cashier, you can not move forward, it's the same. "

On Monday, the minister hoped to defuse the crisis in the emergency room . She might have fed a much larger one throughout the public hospital.
