The mobile hospital of the Samu near the Prairie des filtres.
At the Village rugby (Prairie des filtres), the Red Cross is responsible for this rescue mission. The SAMU 31’s « shelter, » a mobile unit capable of transforming into a field hospital, is already in place on Cours Dillon to serve as a medical post in the area. « We estimate that between 500 and 1000 individuals, mostly mild patients, will be accommodated until the end of the World Cup, » mentions Dr. Vincent Bounes, director of SAMU 31.
During the entire duration of the World Cup, the mobile emergency and resuscitation teams (SMUR) will be doubled. « We are increasing from 5 to 10 teams, with medical teams at the Stadium, the Rugby Village, and in the city where many people will be wandering. On match days, we have reinforced the number of ambulances. A crisis coordination and management system will also be in place at the Prefecture. We have also prepared fallback areas in case of a massive event where we would be able to take care of several hundred patients, similar to a field hospital. These locations, kept secret, will remain active for two months and we hope we won’t have to open them, » adds Dr. Vincent Bounes.
