Le Figaro Nice
Physicians at the end of their careers seek successors.
This observation applies in many parts of France.
But also on the Côte d'Azur and in the subdivision of Nice, which has a university hospital and hospitals in Cannes, Antibes or even Grasse and as far as Menton.
In two similar letters addressed to François Braun, Minister of Health, and Sylvie Retailleau, Minister of Higher Education, Christian Estrosi expresses "
his deepest concern"
about the number of medical interns proposed by the Regional Health Agency of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (ARS Paca) for 2024. In the distribution of the 686 future doctors, Nice would obtain 199 while it wishes to have 245 on its territory.
487 would be trained in Marseille.
“This request to increase the number of staff is not a luxury, it is a question of meeting training needs but also of anticipating future retirements”
, details the Nice councilor in the missive sent to the ministries. Parisians.
According to him, more than half of the doctors on the Riviera are between 60 and 74 years old.
“The national observatory of the demography of health professions must take into account the age of the practitioners installed”
, he indicates, insisting on the fact that this must be done
“in full consultation with the territories which know perfectly needs”
.
Who is Rodolphe Bourret, the new general manager of the Nice University Hospital?
Elderly care-consuming population
He also recognizes that requests for medical appointments are more important than elsewhere in Nice and its surroundings because of
“an elderly population consuming care”
, which is also
“increasing sharply”
.
Christian Estrosi therefore requests
"urgently"
compensation for the loss of 20% on the requests made by the University of Nice Côte d'Azur for the year 2024. He also wishes that "
the weighting be reviewed between our two major cities Nice and Marseille for the years to come
.
The city councilor had already questioned the Minister of Health last year concerning this distribution deemed insufficient (171 interns in 2022).
“No answer or argument had been made to us in return.
I hope today to be heard
, ”he continues.
At this stage, no return has been received in the mailboxes of the Nice town hall.
