On January 14, several hundred heads of department at the hospital decided to resign administratively to denounce the deterioration of their working conditions.

This paperwork strike aims to denounce the lack of resources at the hospital. In particular, the emergency plan to save the public hospital, announced by the Minister of Health and Solidarity, Agnès Buzyn, which, in the eyes of these doctors is quite insufficient. These demands echo those of the emergency strikers, engaged in a strike movement, for more than seven months now. The protesters also intend to point to the growing suffering at work and the decline in the attractiveness of the hospital, due to working conditions and remuneration.
