Without a response from the ministry since, the collective therefore calls for a new mobilization in two stages: first, a “
second week of strike by liberal doctors
”, which began on Monday January 2, and which runs until Sunday January 8.
Then, a demonstration, this Thursday, January 5.
Scheduled for 1 p.m. Place du Panthéon, the gathering must then head to the Ministry of Health, avenue de Ségur.
A meeting with the minister is then planned, according to the founder of the collective, Christelle Audigier, quoted by AFP.
Since its emergence, several voices have been raised to condemn this social movement.
The head of Medicare, Thomas Fatôme, thus deemed this mobilization "
incomprehensible in the period of epidemics that we are experiencing
".
At the beginning of January, the Prime Minister, Élisabeth Borne, also considered it "
incomprehensible in the period of epidemics that we are experiencing
" to strike, while recognizing the "
difficulties
" of the profession.
The effects of these calls for mobilization on the supply of care will be closely scrutinized: according to Health Insurance, the first episode of the strike, at the end of December, led to a drop in the activity of general practitioners of the order of 10%.
