Health: in Reims, in the Marne, an immediate care center set up to treat minor emergencies

In Reims (Marne), little Agathe hurt herself just an hour ago by getting her finger stuck in a door. This is a real emergency when you are only two years old. She was taken care of in the CMSI (medical center for immediate care) in the city. Here, there is no need for an appointment to be taken care of. Both adults and children are received by a doctor in turn, whether for a minor injury or other daily emergencies.

A doctor and a nurse provide care

“As soon as it becomes a little more complicated, that there is a need for examinations, a little more advanced technical platform, or urgent surgical or medical advice, we redirect to hospital or private centers. “explains Alban Caillaud, coordinating doctor of the CMSI in Reims. A doctor and a nurse provide daily care. Delia Cherif, nurse coordinator at the CMSI in Reims, spent 15 years working in the emergency room. She experienced the lack of resources and time. Here, she gives meaning to her profession. In the future, the CMSI would like to recruit doctors to meet the demand, but already fears the lack of candidates in a strained sector.
