Municipalities seek to attract young doctors

For three years, thanks to a health center, Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône (Val-d’Oise) has suffered a little less from the lack of doctors. Doctor Oroudji supervised the project in its smallest details. For him, that doctors and interns are fully satisfied with their collaboration was the basis for being able to encourage professionals to settle here. His enthusiasm has paid off: a second health center has just opened, managed by a former intern of Doctor Oroudji.

At the age of thirty, a doctor signed up for this health centre financed by the state and the municipality at a low rent of 1,000 euros for 300 square metres. In exchange for this investment, there was only one constraint: to stay in this deficit area for five years. With her, two other young doctors and two nurses settled in.
