Radiologists in France are striking today, November 10, as nearly 85% of the country's 5,000 private radiologists protest cuts imposed by the state healthcare system, Assurance Maladie. The strike has resulted in postponed appointments, with only urgent cases being addressed, particularly impactful as a public holiday follows tomorrow. The cuts will lower radiologist fees for services like MRI scans and reduce reimbursements, despite claims from Assurance Maladie that the sector is highly profitable. While the union of radiologists expresses concerns about the impact on care quality and argues for alternative savings methods, Assurance Maladie maintains that these measures will not compromise the sector's viability. No further strikes are currently planned, but additional actions may occur in the future.
