Sfax proposes new emergency center
The emergency department at Habib Bourguiba University Hospital in Sfax is experiencing significant pressure and overcrowding, especially with the rise in temperatures and the heatwave that has led to an increase in heatstroke cases and fatalities among the elderly. Calls from deputies and unions emphasize the urgent need to establish a second emergency department in the city to alleviate the burden and improve treatment conditions. Deputy Shukri Al-Bahri has called for gathering signatures to support this initiative, while another deputy visited the department and described the conditions as difficult, highlighting the need to utilize military hospital resources or set up a field hospital. The union confirms that the sharp rise in temperatures has increased patient admissions and urges urgent measures to prevent a collapse of the healthcare system in the region.
