Hospital services in France are in crisis. However, caregivers at Bordeaux University Hospital are urging the government to take action quickly. More than 1000 Bordeaux hospital staff and caregivers signed a column in Le Monde to demand that the government take strong and immediate actions to save the healthcare system.
The Emergencies were unavailable for several weeks due to a shortage of staff. They could only be reached after being sorted by the 15. Although they aren’t closed, this has been a symbol for the current crisis.
Concerning the CHU of Bordeaux’s difficulties, caregivers call for a crisis at the national level, “both for CHUs as well as for regional centers”, which “affects both adult medicine and pediatrics”. The demands are driven by the increasing aging population and the profitability requirement of 95% occupancy of the beds.
“What appears to me to be an emergency is to be replaced in a system of health that has lost steam after years of budgetary restrictions,” says the collective author of “World”.
The text continues, “In many specialties more effective but more complicated treatments increase hospital usage.” Hospitalization has become a problem, for both city medicine and for emergency situations.
Let’s continue with the demonstration. “At the moment, in order to comply with the accounting criteria imposed upon us, a high level of approximately 95% bed occupancy, at the origin just-in-time operations, is required. This does not allow for more than ensuring that beds are available for patients who require rapid, unscheduled hospitalization.
