The Minister of Health affirms, Friday, October 28 on France Bleu, that children are not sorted in pediatric services. “When we say sort, it means taking some and not taking others. Outside, that’s not what’s happening”says François Braun, guest of the program “Bonjour Docteur”, in response to the remarks “of an elected insubordinate France” who claimed that.
“Our health system takes care of all children and all patients”continues the minister. Francois Braun insist on one point: “Not everything boils down to going to the emergency room.” In the midst of an epidemic of bronchiolitis, the Minister recalls that in “the vast majority” cases “It’s benign and it must be taken care of by city doctors, by general practitioners”.
“We don’t go to the emergency room for bronchiolitis”say again Francois Braun. The Minister recommends, instead, to telephone “at Samu”, “we call 15 and we come across a doctor. Some Samu have even put pediatricians on the phone who will give good advice”.
More broadly, François Braun returns to the crisis in the medical community. According to him, she “comes from a policy conducted for decades towards health and the hospital and which now leads to an imbalance between the health needs of fellow citizens and what we are able to put in front”. Still according to the Minister of Health, “there is a balance to be found. That is my challenge. This balance is to fight against everything that leads to inequalities in access to health”.
