The healthcare crisis in France dates back to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. It has since worsened, with several health workers retiring and others changing jobs due to the excessive workload.
A Paris hospital is temporarily closing its Emergency Department from tomorrow, Monday, April 24, to Tuesday, May 2, due to a lack of staff.
The Robert Balanget hospital in the Paris suburb of Aulnes-sous-Bois was forced to take this decision because of the understaffing problem it is facing, according to a report by the television network BFMTV that was broadcast yesterday Saturday.
The measure concerns patients who visit the hospital with their own means. Ambulance transports will still be accepted as specified.
The doctors at the “Robert Balanger” hospital are asking the management to hire staff, with urgent procedures.
