“Dissolution of the HIA Desgenettes”, this is how a decree of December 21, 2021 from the Ministry of the Armed Forces writes on the compensatory support systems linked to changes in positions within the army between 2022 and 2024.

The establishment, which could accommodate 320 beds, would now only accommodate a dozen or so per week.

On weekends, the hospital remains completely closed.

About 80 demonstrators this Saturday

An aberration at the time of the 5th wave of Covid-19 according to the 80 demonstrators gathered this Saturday.

The hospital, which employed 820 civilian and military people in 2018 according to Pascal Lecapitaine, Cgt general secretary at Desgenettes, would today list 350 staff members whose activity is almost non-existent despite the pandemic.

Around 11:30 a.m., the procession headed for the Édouard-Herriot hospital to express its anger and announce the emergency package at 20 euros.
