Description
The Commercial Court of Paris has declared the judicial liquidation of the mutual insurance company uMen médical, which manages the René-Laborie mutual health centre. This health centre, which employed 135 people and was visited by 75,000 people a year, will therefore close its doors and its 135 employees will be made redundant. The management believes that the health centre is a victim of the health insurance reforms, due to whic mutual insurance companies are forbidden to make up deficits in the cash flow of their health centres. But the centre's employees blame the management for having allowed the financial situation to deteriorate after the break-up of ties with the social protection group Audiens in 2017.
