French Health Workers Protest for Better Working Conditions in Paris (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Dozens of hospital workers banged pans and chanted in front of a Paris hospital on Thursday, to demand better working conditions as France prepares to further ease its coronavirus lockdown.
Health workers protested against the lack of funds and resources for public hospitals outside Robert-Debre hospital in Paris, on Thursday.
Protesters denounced the working conditions during the peak of the coronavirus crisis.
"This crisis was badly managed, badly anticipated. There has been a shortage of masks, hydroalcoholic gel. We worked with expired masks in a large public hospital in Paris," said an intensive care pulmonologist Mathieu.
In recent weeks, health care professionals have re-engaged in long-standing battles across France with the government in order to demand changes and measures which they say would make it easier to work and battle the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
