The shortage of medical personnel affects a sector relatively unknown to the general public.
The palliative care unit at Houdan hospital has just closed its doors due to a lack of doctors.
The head of the department is due to leave office on March 1 and could not be replaced.
A sign of the times, until then she had held her position part-time, straddling the Houdan hospital and the Mantes-la-Jolie hospital…
This cessation of activity is described as “temporary” by the regional health agency (ARS), which has started looking for a replacement.
According to the organization, a new professional is hoped for “during the second half of the year”.
A specialized firm is also involved in this research.
