The hospital staff were called to demonstrate Wednesday afternoon in Paris by the CGT, not satisfied with the plan of Agnès Buzyn for the "refoundation" of emergencies and supported by strikers who voted to continue their movement.
The main event of a "national day of action", the cortege must start at 13:00 from the Place d'Italie, in the direction of the Ministry of Health.
Beyond emergencies, the CGT wants to extend the movement to the entire health and social sector, including psychiatry and Ehpad.
This mobilization was supported by Force Ouvrière, which invited its members to "join the 9/11 movements organized in institutions and departments".
The collective Inter-Emergency also supported "all the union dates that are announced", after voting Tuesday the continuation of a strike unpublished by its duration - soon 6 months - and its magnitude - 250 services urgency to date.
A crisis that the Minister of Health hoped to resolve with his plan presented Monday and with "more than 750 million euros" drawn from credits planned by 2022.
An envelope especially intended for the creation of a new "service of access to care" to regulate calls for help and "direct admissions" channels without passage to emergencies for the elderly.
But the strikers continue to demand "reopenings of beds", "recruitments up to needs" and an "increase of 300 euros net monthly".
They could be joined by the doctors of the Association of Emergency Physicians of France (Amuf) and the union Action Practitioner Hospital (APH), who will vote Thursday on their participation in the movement.
