Le SAMU tunisien a en effet été saturé d’appels, de mi-mars à fin avril, avec des pics de 30 000 en une journée, selon les données de Samir Abdelmoumen, médecin urgentiste membre de la Commission nationale de lutte contre le coronavirus au sein du ministère de la santé : « En un mois et demi, nous avons eu pratiquement l’équivalent de dix-sept ans d’activité en matière d’appels.
