In Grenoble (Isère), 300 people gathered in front of the CHU. “We simply ask to work in working conditions that allow us to treat”, explains Sara Fernandez, nurse. The situation has consequences for the work of the personnel. “The care is not optimal, and the quality of care is no longer there. People have to hear it,” warns Dr. Pierre-Amael Noailly Chamy, pediatrician. At least 120 emergency services have been forced to limit their activity or are preparing to do so. The situation is likely to worsen with the summer.
