Olivier Granowski, director of the Villefranche hospital center breathes a little easier when we talk to him about the very tense situation that the hospital of our city is experiencing in the emergency and maternity services. “It is a bit of a generality in the hospitals of our country since the entry into force of the RIST law which limits the level of remuneration for replacements in medicine”. The ceiling having been raised to 1,390 gross for 24 hours of work, some doctors have resumed work, thus releasing a little the pressure exerted on public health establishments. “We are now able to ensure continuity of care for the two services where the situation was the most complicated until the end of June” assures the director, hoping that things will stabilize thereafter. “For emergencies, I am relatively optimistic, but for maternity, it will be more difficult because we are having difficulty recruiting long-term doctors. The situation is not getting worse and it is even better than in April. has practitioners in the emergency room and long-term contract workers. Then we call on replacements to plug the holes” he summarizes, hoping that over the next few months we can return to operation with longer-term visibility.
