“Everything has accelerated since early December”

Emergencies: always a hundred passages per day

Emergencies of the hospital center are not full of this month of January. The flu epidemic saturates the service.

“We still have a hundred passages a day,” says Philippe Collange-Campagna, the director of the hospital. There is a lot of activity. The hospitalization rate of people with flu is important. ”

The regulation of emergency entry is therefore maintained. Faced with this very important peak of activity, it was set up in early January. Center 15 and the emergency service have been “obliged to prioritize the management of vital emergencies and proven severity situations”. Consequently, the call to the center 15 before any displacement in the emergency room is always strictly compulsory. Only vital emergencies can be welcomed in this unit. People presenting themselves spontaneously at the reception for non -vital emergencies will be systematically reoriented (liberal doctors, medical care house, health center, etc.).

“We are still extending for the next few days,” says the director. The vaccination campaign was not effective this year. ”
