During exceptional periods, exceptional steps. Faced with the health crisis in the Grand Est, the CHU de Grenoble sent voluntary nursing staff to two hospitals near Metz.
The situation is still very tense in the Grand Est, despite patient transfers and an increasing number of home returns. Conversely, the Grenoble University Hospital is far from saturated and the number of patients remains stable.
Emergency doctors, resuscitators and nurses are volunteers
Six emergency doctors, two nurses and three resuscitators therefore volunteered to come and strengthen the teams in the Grand Est. Divided into several teams, they will take turns at the rate of one team per week for at least three weeks. The next relief is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14.

This aid is welcome in the region most affected in France by the epidemic, atwith 2,009 deaths from coronavirus and more than 4,800 hospitalized patients (results on Sunday, April 12).
Exhausted caregivers
The hospital staff of the Grand Est are exhausted. The cause: the large number of cases. But above all the contamination of certain caregivers which reduced the workforce and led others to chain the hours. This Grenoble reinforcement therefore arrives like a breath of fresh air.
Note that eight other resuscitators will also lend a hand in Île-de-France, where the situation is still worrying. Staff transfers are managed and facilitated by the Regional Health Agencies (ARS) of the different regions.
