[HIGHLIGHTS] “Behind the decision of SOS Médecins to withdraw from certain neighborhoods, the explosion of violence against the medical professions”

SOS Médecins branch in Var announced that it would no longer intervene in certain districts of Toulon. Pierre Marie-Sève, director of the Institute for Justice, explains that the number of attacks against the medical professions is growing.

The year 2022 constituted an absolute record in terms of attacks: 1,244 were recorded, a number which has doubled in 20 years. The doctors and firefighters join teachers, bereaved in recent years by the death of Dominique Bernard in Arras, of Agnès Lassalle in Saint Jean-de-Luz.
