As the presidential elections approach and health has become a more than priority issue since the outbreak of the health crisis, the candidates are visiting health establishments.

Yannick Jadot (EELV) was in Laon (Aisne), Valérie Pécresse (LR) in Lacelle (Corrèze) and Marine Le Pen (RN) in Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin). The candidates are on tour in health establishments. A sector that has become a priority in the minds of the French since the advent of the Covid-19. Some proposals emanated from these trips. Valérie Pécresse offers 25,000 more nursing posts against 100,000 for Yannick Jadot. Marine Le Pen wants a moratorium on bed closures. Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI) will deliver his proposals on health in January 2022.

According to a Harris Interactive survey, 87% of French people consider access to healthcare to be a major subject. For Frédéric Valletoux, the president of the Hospital Federation of France, it will be impossible for the candidates to ignore health. Not yet officially a candidate, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, will be able to count on the results of the Ségur de la santé: 19 billion euros to improve the daily lives of caregivers, 8.2 billion to upgrade the professions and 15,000 recruitments.
