SOS Médecins Lille temporarily suspended its activities following a violent assault and death threats against one of its practitioners. The incident occurred during an ongoing consultation when two individuals interrupted and threatened the doctor and the family present. The assaulted physician was reported to have had a near-death experience, with the president of SOS Médecins Lille describing the doctor as having "met the image of death." An investigation has been opened into the assault and the death threats. In response to the attack, the local SOS Médecins branch went on strike but later ended the strike. Philippe Paranque, a representative of SOS Médecins, emphasized the importance of maintaining the freedom of medical practice and the relationship between doctors and patients despite the aggression.
