On 14 March 2025, at the call of CFTC, FO, and CGTR, striking health workers from the Flamboyants Clinic gathered for a picket line in Le Port (Saint-Paul) to demand the payment of bonuses and better working conditions.

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, medical staff in Le Port, Réunion, a French overseas territory, conducted peaceful protests demanding improved wages and working conditions. The demonstration, led by Flamboyant Clinic employees, was classified as low-intensity with no direct physical confrontations reported.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Réunion is a French overseas territory located on major maritime routes in the Indian Ocean, where medical service disruptions could indirectly affect healthcare services for port workers and logistics personnel
• Le Port is one of Réunion's major port cities, raising concerns about restricted medical access for port operations personnel if the medical staff strike is prolonged
• Currently, there is no direct disruption to logistics transportation or cargo handling, but continued medical infrastructure instability poses indirect risks to port operational efficiency

3) Watch points

• Need to track the duration of the Flamboyant Clinic strike and whether it spreads to other medical facilities
• Need to monitor operational status of Réunion's major ports (Le Port, Saint-Pierre, etc.) and their dependence on medical services
