French health minister visits a hospital in Paris amid flu outbreak
French Health Minister Yannick Neuder arrives at the Cochin hospital in Paris as the winter flu epidemic intensified in early January. Faced with an influx of patients in their emergency departments, 87 French hospitals have activated a 'plan blanc' (white plan), a system that allows certain operations to be cancelled or staff on leave to be recalled.
