Patients 'suffering' as French hospitals overwhelmed

Description

Inundated with patients suffering from Covid-19, Bronchitis and the flu and with GPs on strike, wards are overflowing in many French hospitals, prompting unions to call for a walkout next Tuesday. At one hospital in Fréjus, in southern France, the emergency department is at double its normal capacity and doctors say patients are not getting the care they need as a result.
