Health professionals: make manifest Sunday?
Doctors, interns, dentists, midwives ... A wide call to action Sunday, March 15 has been launched against the bill health Marisol Touraine. The private health professionals will parade in Paris, the place Denfert-Rochereau in the Ministry of Health. As early as Friday, March 13, some have gone on strike.
- Who went on strike on Friday?
The "Movement for the health of all", which brings together forty unions and student organizations in the world of health, called, Thursday, March 12, at a press conference in "harden the movement" against " deafness "of the Health Minister, Marisol Touraine. In addition to Sunday's demonstration, this collective, created in February to demand the withdrawal of the bill, urged general practitioners to observe a strike by guards and emergency starting Friday, March 13 at 8:00 until Monday 16 March-August hours.
Thus, the Liberals surgeons were asked to not go to the block, dentists and nurses to close their offices. For example, Friday and SOS SOS Médecins hands were conspicuously absent.
In a statement, the health ministry said that "no particular difficulty in the management of patients were reported across the country at this stage and [that] support Saturday 14 and Sunday, March 15 is organized. "
The aim of the maneuver is simple: See all emergencies to government hospitals at risk of overheating. Especially that domestic and clinical leaders in public hospitals have also announced that they no longer would manage emergencies during this weekend agitated.
The movement also called on all health liberals (physiotherapists, nurses, doctors, dentists, speech therapists, biologists, podiatrists, audiologists and opticians) to close their doors Saturday, March 14. These two days will be a "dead Health weekend," warned the collective.
- Make manifest Sunday and why?
Most private health professionals unions rallied to the call to protest that was initiated by internal (ISNI) and clinical leaders (ISNCA). Medical students are also expected to join the procession. "What is history, it is the meeting of all generations and all senior unions," said Jean-Paul Ortiz, president of the Medical Trade Unions French (CSMF), the main trade union organization among private practitioners. The organizers hope to surpass the 20,000 participants.
The National General Medical Council has expressed its support for the event.For the first time in its history, the Order of Dentists also called him to run. "The dental industry is gasping for breath, says Christian Couzinou, its president. It manifests in everything again from scratch because this law does not address of our problems. »
If the organizers have agreed on a common slogan - "No to the draft health law, all united for the health of tomorrow" - their demands are not all the same.Some, grouped under the banner of the "Movement for the health of all" and the French Union for a free medicine, require simple withdrawal of the text. Others, such as MG France, the largest union among general practitioners, or the National Association of Medical Students ask the ROM.
- An unprecedented mobilization?
Not since the early 1990s to find a similar movement. At the time, the world of health offended against "a binding mechanism health insurance costs," recalls Patrick Hassenteufel, professor of political science at the University of Versailles-Saint-Quentin. On 11 June 1991 a large demonstration had gathered 50,000 physicians in private clinics, physiotherapists, biologists with a government accused of trying to ration care and nationalize medicine.
Today, the doctors' unions speeches reminds some old mobilizations. "When the president of the Union of private doctors says Marisol Touraine remained right in his boots and did not move an inch, this clearly refers to Juppé plan, "heexplains. At the time, the mobilization of physicians against measures to reduce the deficit of Social Security was embedded in the great strikes against pension reform in the public service, but it has clearly marked the spirits in the profession.
Also, the critique of CSMF against the rising power of regional health agencies, and the risk of guardianship of private medicine, said the slogans of liberal doctors against the Bachelot law in 2009, although then it is especially the mobilization of the hospital world that had been retained.
However, in 2004, when two laws were passed in the wake of the public health law called Mattei (named after the Minister of Health from 2002 to 2004) and the reform of health insurance, which however was a real place in the complementary health system, "doctors were not taken to the streets," recalls Didier Tabuteau, responsible for Health Chair at Sciences Po. Yet it much reformed health system that current bill.
