The emergency doctor and head of service at the Delafontaine hospital in Saint-Denis reacted on BFMTV to the plan to relieve congestion in the emergency services before the end of 2024 promised by Emmanuel Macron.
The end of saturated emergencies for next year? The promise made Monday evening by Emmanuel Macron to unclog these hospital services seems unrealistic for the emergency doctor Mathias Wargon, guest this Tuesday evening of BFMTV.
“I have a little trouble thinking that we will solve all this problem which is not only in the emergency room but in the whole of the health system in a year and a half”, he estimates on our antenna.
“All previous attempts have failed”
The President of the Republic, during his televised address, called for “deeply rebuilding the health system” and more broadly for “progress for better living”.
“The emergency is the symptom of the functioning of the health system. As soon as there is something wrong, we go to the emergency room”, explains Mathias Wargon on BFMTV, “if the emergency room is congested it is because that we can’t get patients out to the hospital and we can’t accept all the patients who come to us because they can’t find a solution in town”.
The emergency doctor also explains on BFMTV that “all the previous attempts, which were to increase the supply in town, either by asking the doctor to work more or the nurses in advanced practice (IPA, Ed) didn’t work. We can’t recruit at the hospital”.
