“National solidarity”
Yann Bubien, the director of the Bordeaux University Hospital, said at the end of March, during the first patient transfers to New Aquitaine, that this is “national solidarity”.
“We are not a rear base but we have significant reception capacities in intensive care. It is our duty to welcome patients from these regions such as Ile-de-France or Grand Est.”
The Gironde SAMU teams mobilized
The highly mobilized teams of SAMU 33 joined the convoy this Thursday to accompany and take care of patients during transport.
