[HIGHLIGHTS] Medical deserts: who are the “padhue”, these foreign doctors that Attal wishes to regularize?

Gabriel Attal confirmed the objective announced by Emmanuel Macron to regularize foreign practitioners who come to France. In France, in total, more than 25,000 European or non-European doctors are registered with the Council of the Order of Physicians.

But the regularization process concerns those not registered, who are colloquially called “padhue”, for “practitioners with a diploma outside the European Union” Many arrived in the territory during the Covid-19 crisis, when the overloaded health system was in need of reinforcements.
