Medical centre for illegal immigrants to be closed during Paris Olympics
A medical centre for illegal immigrants in Paris' Seine-Saint-Denis, located a stone's throw from main sites for the Olympics, will close its doors during the summer to protect its patients from an expected increase in police checks. "It was an extremely difficult decision, a certain kind of abandonment, but at the same time a certain kind of responsibility towards the people we support," says Matthieu Dréan, head of the NGO Médecins du Monde health centre.
