Respond to medical deserts, support city medicine, unclog emergencies, reorganize the hospital... This Monday, François Braun, Minister of Health and Prevention, launches in Le Mans (Sarthe) the health component of the National Council for Refoundation (CNR), wanted by the President of the Republic.
Bringing together citizens, elected officials, health professionals, this “CNR health”, whose work will last several months, is supposed to rethink access to care in the country.
“My goal is for everyone to have a treating doctor
,” said François Braun.
The idea is not to launch yet another consultation on the diagnosis - we know it - but "
to bring out the solutions imagined and expected locally"
, promised the minister, reaffirming the importance of the method, based on consultation , as close as possible to the territories and the health needs of the population.
But this work begins under bad auspices: the government has decided to extend the studies of future general practitioners (ten years in total) by imposing on them an additional year of internship, in priority in the medical deserts.
He also wants to prohibit young doctors from accessing temporary employment upon leaving their studies.
As a result, the student unions, supported by the profession, called for a strike on October 14.
François Braun assured however, Friday in an interview with the
World
, to remain “
opposed to the coercion with the installation
” of the doctors, “
not by dogma, but because that does not work
”.
