Doctors find it hard to believe. Monday, April 17, in his televised address, Emmanuel Macron addressed the French and assured that the country’s health system had to be “deeply rebuilt”. In his speech, the President of the Republic promised to unclog the emergency services “By the end of next year, we should have relieved all the emergency services. For the moment, the Head of State has not specified what he intends precisely with this ambitious project.
“For six years, 11 million French men and women have been able to benefit from the remainder at zero charge for their glasses, their hearing aids or their dental prostheses, we have put an end to the numerus clausus and we have massively invested in our hospital”, a recalled the President of the Republic. Another objective, he recalls the need to have “concrete results in the short term” and to guarantee access to a treating physician for patients with chronic illnesses.
A first assessment on July 14
Asked by The Parisian, the president of the Association of Emergency Physicians of France, Patrick Pelloux, does not believe in this announcement and judges this measure “impossible to keepunless you go the opposite of what has been done so far”. Before emphasizing: “This would mean reopening all the beds closed for lack of staff, reopening beds downstream of the services of emergencies, and to make working conditions more attractive, in particular night shifts”.
Quoted by BFM TV, the president of the Federation of Doctors of France, Jean-Paul Hamon also makes the link with the lack of general practitioners: “We are in a context of galloping desertification in terms of city medicine”. Emmanuel Macron has launched a vast project: “We have before us a hundred days of appeasement, unity, ambition and action in the service of France”. He gives an appointment to the French “next July 14” to “make a first assessment”.
