The info not to miss
Bad news if you fall ill: the collective “Doctors for tomorrow” calls for a second consecutive week of strike by liberal professionals, generalists but not only. “Unfortunately, the government did not deign to pay attention to us despite this first week of strike”, he regrets on his site, deploring to have been “unfairly lectured” by the Minister of Health. He had deemed this social movement “unwelcome”, while the hospital is in crisis and the emergencies are overwhelmed.
In addition, a demonstration is announced in Paris this Thursday, January 5, with a rally scheduled for 1 p.m. Place du Panthéon, for a march towards the Ministry of Health. The central demand of the group of angry doctors remains the doubling of the basic consultation fee, an increase from 25 to 50 euros. The goal: to create a “shock of attractiveness” towards city medicine in dire need of staff, crushed by administrative tasks and which no longer attracts young people.
