Update
Never have they perhaps been so visible in the news. And yet, four months before the presidential election, they once again feel forgotten. The public hospital and its caregivers, who were in the streets today, are calling for new personnel, resources, management and objectives.
They came from all over France to cry out in anger at a breathless public hospital. Thousands of caregivers exhausted by nearly two years of the pandemic. Among them, a nurse from Chambéry (Savoie). “I’m here today because there are always more patients, not caregivers. Seeing patients in pain makes us stop. We don’t want to work like that.”
The Ségur of health, supposed to increase the salaries of caregivers by 180 euros, is perceived as insufficient to alleviate the problems of the hospital. “We have to review the number of patients a nurse or caregiver has to take care of. It has to change, these are called ratios.”, explains Arnaud Chiche, founder of the “Santé en danger” collective. A mobilization in Paris and in the provinces. In Bordeaux (Gironde), the staff of the CHU denounce the closure of the beds. At the dawn of a fifth wave of Covid with more than 2,000 patients in intensive care, the staff do not hide their concern. A new mobilization is scheduled for December 7 and 11.
