1 medical intern commits suicide every week in France, doctors' groups say
PARIS, FRANCE - JANUARY 05: One medical intern commits suicide every week in France, doctors' groups said Thursday.
Doctors gathered in Paris to demand better working conditions.
The country has been suffering from a "triple epidemic" of the coronavirus, flu, and bronchiolitis. The number of patients has increased in emergency departments, causing long waiting times.
General practitioners, considered the second pillar of the French healthcare system, have been on strike since Dec. 26, asking for better working conditions and fee raises.
Thousands marched to the Ministry of Health and observed a minute of silence to commemorate the interns who have committed suicide.
Protesters condemned the lethargy of the health system, criticizing a shortage of healthcare workers and other serious scarcities. (Footage by Mohamad Salaheldin Abdelg Alsayed/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
