Private clinics are expected to close their doors from June 3 to obtain a reassessment of their prices to the tune of 500 million euros. The Private Hospital Federation is supported by five of the six representative unions of doctors who also announce that they will close their practices if they do not obtain an increase in the value of their actions. A movement which will have consequences for patients.
Private clinics will be at a complete standstill from June 3 if their managers do not obtain satisfaction by then. There will also be general practitioner and specialist offices that will be closed in town. Doctors will notify their patients from May 15, in particular to cancel all planned operations. The emergency rooms will be closed from June 2.
A deficit of 800 million euros
This total strike must last at least 3 days. The movement is renewable, during this time, patients will be redirected to public hospitals. Only chronic patients undergoing dialysis or anti-cancer treatment will be received in private clinics and hospitals during this movement.
Hospitals and private doctors want money. Thinking that private clinics make lots of profits is a preconceived idea according to the head of the Private Hospital Federation. Lamine Gharbi mentions a deficit of 800 million euros. And he did not digest the government’s decision to grant a much higher price increase to public hospitals. They are demanding the same thing: it represents an envelope of 500 million euros.
Same demands for doctors since they are the ones who work in these private clinics and hospitals. But they have another goal: it is the convergence of struggles. It also works in this sector: they are in the middle of negotiations with Health Insurance and they left the discussion table, because they did not get the increases they were demanding. They assure that certain acts have not been revalued for 20 years. This June 3 movement is a way of putting pressure on the CNAM.
