French doctors complain about the overcrowding of hospitals in the middle of the influenza, corona and bronchiolitis epidemic in this country. General physician Florence Lapica told the French channel BFMTV: “There is an epidemic, but there are also chronic patients.” , we no longer have the ability to manage our patients, whether they are infants or elderly. We have a complete list for consultation time.
In the same summer, medical workers went on strike across France, demanding higher wages and more staff, in opposition to the health and safety policies of the authorities.
Unions have previously warned that France is facing a crisis in healthcare, and healthcare workers in public hospitals and medical and social institutions have spent the past three years trying to draw attention to the situation.
