French GPs go on strike over deteriorating working conditions • FRANCE 24 English

In a rare move, general practitioners in #France will go on #strike on December 1 and 2, demanding greater investment from the government in local #doctors' surgeries. They say that if their working conditions don't improve, the state can kiss goodbye to traditional local surgeries, since recruiting the next generation of doctors will be almost impossible. These GPs are complaining of increasingly long days and endless paperwork. To better understand the situation, we spent a day with a doctor in a small town south of Paris. We also met a GP who was recently signed off work after suffering from burnout.
