For several days, the rumor was running. According to our information, Martin Hirsch announced it before the Directory of Public Assistance-Hospitals in Paris (AP-HP), Friday June 17: he is about to leave the management of the Ile-de-France hospital mastodon, at the end of June. Arrived in 2013, the 58 -year -old state councilor spent record time at the head of the powerful Parisian institution, which has 39 hospitals.
Martin Hirsch will leave his duties in a period when the hospital meets an unprecedented crisis, with a shortage of caregivers who force many establishments to close beds for months. Since the release of the COVVI -19 epidemic crisis, the hemorrhage of caregivers has increased, forcing hospital services to close more beds – 18 % were closed for lack of staff in the fall of 2021, announced the management of The AP-HP in October. Despite the recruitment attempts, the situation has not improved since then, with this black point in the Ile -de -France region where the cost of living is particularly high.
point of rupture
Named a decade ago in favor of another crisis, to succeed Mireille Faugère, who then wants to close the emergencies of the Hôtel-Dieu, near Notre-Dame, the newcomer, to the more profile politics, had succeeded in moving the file.
hit hard by the first waves of COVID-19, the AP-HP resisted. In March 2020, beds of “rea” are open, reinforcements come from all over the country, washing machine batteries are purchased to clean the surblouses that normally throw themselves, when there are enough…. The break point has been touched, not exceeded.
Normalien, enarque, graduate in neurobiology, Martin Hirsch first rolled on the left. During the Jospin era in Matignon (1997-2002), he pushed in the shade of Bernard Kouchner, of which he was director of cabinet at the State Secretariat for Health. Martin Hirsch is not a doctor, failing to have validated his last year, but he speaks their language and becomes a rising star. In 1999, he took the lead of the French Food Safety Agency, where he managed in particular the crazy cow crisis. A few years later, he succeeded Father Pierre as president of Emmaüs, before leaving to sail in Sarkozie, by promoting the idea of active solidarity income (RSA), a minimum income intended to replace the RMI, Designed to push its beneficiaries to seek a job. The new Elysée tenant thus makes “a war” on the left, by bringing it to the government.
