Canicule : décès, dépenses de santé... L'interview de Philippe Juvin dans le "8h30 franceinfo"

Philippe Juvin, a member of parliament for the Les Républicains party representing Hauts-de-Seine and head of the emergency department at the Georges-Pompidou European Hospital in Paris, was a guest on the "8:30 a.m. franceinfo" program on Sunday, June 28. He answered questions from Hadrien Bect and Camille Vigogne Le Coat. Since Wednesday, a thousand more deaths than usual have already been recorded in France, the national public health agency announced on Sunday, as an exceptionally intense heatwave comes to an end. The agency warned that the true toll is likely to rise. "We must expect a toll that will probably be very, very high," said the MP for Hauts-de-Seine and head of the emergency department at Georges-Pompidou Hospital. According to Philippe Juvin, "the toll is far from over." He expects a significant increase in heat-related deaths in the coming days: "Tomorrow morning, Monday, home care workers, caregivers for the elderly, and families will return to work. We'll reopen the doors and we'll likely discover people who are either in very, very poor condition [...] or who have died at home." In his emergency department, Philippe Juvin observes deaths and patients "arriving in critical condition, where we know they are going to die." "The majority of people die before arriving at the hospital," the doctor explains. https://www.franceinfo.fr Twitter:   / franceinfo   Facebook:   / franceinfo   Instagram:   / franceinfo   TikTok:   / franceinfo   Twitch:   / franceinfo   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/franceinfo.fr Threads: https://www.threads.net/@franceinfo?h...
