Paris, May 26 (RHC)-- Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said health workers would soon get hefty pay increases as part of an overhaul of France's hospital system in response to the coronavirus crisis.
"I can say without any ambiguity, the increase will be significant," Philippe said while kicking off consultations with doctors and nurses that are expected to conclude in July.
Health workers have long complained about low salaries and insufficient staff at French hospitals, leading to a series of strikes over the past year to demand funding increases.
