Since October, the watchwords have resounded in the field of health, a sign of shared concern about the state of the system and the reforms undertaken by the government and the Minister of Health, François Braun.
- The ongoing mobilization of interns
Gathered at the call of a large inter-union, medical students have been upwind, for two months, against the addition of a fourth year of internship in general medicine. This should be carried out “priority in areas where medical demography is under-dense”according to article 23 of the social security financing bill (PLFSS), adopted on November 21, in the National Assembly, after yet another appeal to 49.3.
Another reason for this anger: the ban on temporary work at the hospital, at the start of a career. On October 14, the intersyndicale and other organizations demanded “more than ten thousand” demonstrators across France. November 17, proclaimed “Thursday of anger”, saw many general practitioners join the processions. In the meantime, the Ministry of Health has released some ballast by announcing that it is defending an amendment to the PLFSS to allow certain internships for this additional year to be carried out in the hospital, and not only on an outpatient basis. Without dissipating the concern of those concerned, for whom this reform, experienced as a future constraint to installation, will aggravate the lack of attractiveness of the profession.

Without counting the means put on the table of the conventional negotiations, considered to be insufficient. “These ‘Angry Fridays’ are an opportunity to raise awareness among our patients of the risks of disrupting the care pathway.explains Agnès Giannotti, of the MG France trade union. The offices remain open. » A call for a strike was also launched, for the first days of December, by local coordination of liberals, at the call of the Doctors for Tomorrow movement, supported, to varying degrees, by certain unions.
