Attention, a “massive strike” disrupts the emergencies of the CHU

Since noon on Monday and until Tuesday 7 a.m., “only adult vital emergencies” are received at the University Hospital of Purpan in Toulouse. “Patients requiring non-deferrable care will have to seek first-line doctors, private health establishments and the Samu-centre 15”, warns the management in a press release.

This complicated situation results from a “massive strike” launched at the initiative of the CGT for Monday evening. “We salute the commitment of the medical staff, the supervisors and the volunteer caregivers who come to reinforce the teams of the hospital services and who thus make it possible to preserve the safety and quality of care at Purpan”, adds the management.

Demonstration Tuesday

Jean-Luc Moudenc (LR), the mayor of Toulouse and chairman of the board of directors of the CHU, also supports the volunteers on Twitter, while deploring “a maneuver aimed at creating chaos in the middle of an extended holiday weekend! “.

Toulouse caregivers have planned to demonstrate on Tuesday, from 2 p.m., in the streets of the Pink City. The CGT estimates that 1,500 additional caregivers should be hired at the Toulouse University Hospital.
