A second five-year term to "
continue the movements undertaken and amplify them
".
Coming to praise the results of the president-candidate during a “
great oral health
” organized by the French Hospital Federation (FHF), Olivier Véran began to unveil the program that Emmanuel Macron was to present in the afternoon.
The priority will thus be to "
roll back medical deserts by relying on cooperation between professionals
", but "
without rushing (or) cutting corners on the safety of care
".
“
This will be done within the framework of a major conference of stakeholders
”, bringing together health professionals, local authorities and user representatives, where “
the question of remuneration, in particular for liberal exercise
” would be put on the table, has he added, without specifying whether this would result in an increase in consultation rates.
Olivier Véran also mentioned "
an ambitious plan around women's health
", in particular on the subjects of infertility, menopause and postpartum, as well as "
complete and free health check-ups at the key ages of life
” to improve prevention.

For her part, the socialist candidate Anne Hidalgo had put forward her objective of training "
15,000 doctors per year
" (against a little more than 10,000 today), but was "
not for an obligation
" to install in the medical deserts.
The ecologist Yannick Jadot on the contrary defended a three-year "
installation obligation
" - "
last year of study and first two years of exercise
" - for young graduates, "
until we have enough of doctors
”.
On the right, Valérie Pécresse for her part proposed to send "
4000 junior doctors
" for a year in the medical deserts,
today we are not paying the right price
”.
