“For us, this appointment is a real provocation”reacted on franceinfo Christophe Prudhomme, emergency physician and spokesperson for the Association of Emergency Physicians of France (AMUF). “How can we trust this gentleman? The proposals made by François Braun are catastrophic. It is a breakdown in public service. He explains that we can close emergencies at night. Mr. Braun does not represent emergency physicians .”
Christophe Prudhomme believes that the new Minister of Health “was used by Emmanuel Macron for this famous flash mission which had the sole objective of postponing the debate on the question of emergencies after the legislative elections.”
“Mr. Braun is not, in our opinion, someone responsible, reasonable”he added. “It’s going to be an opponent, you have to be clear.” Christophe Prudhomme talks about a doctor “who chose the stakes of power and the support of a policy of degradation of the public service”. “There is a real political problem today and I think there will be a revolt in the world of health and in the population in the face of the worrying policy advocated by Mr. Braun”finished the paramedic.
