The town of Éguzon-Chantôme, in Indre, is desperately looking for a doctor, and has called on the famous duo of actors Les Bodin’s, who have produced a video. Similar initiatives are also taking place in other municipalities.

Stars to put an end to medical deserts. The town of Éguzon-Chantôme (Indre), 1,500 inhabitants, called on the actor duo Les Bodin’s to help them find a doctor. The actors, who appreciate the region, have therefore produced a video on a voluntary basis. Despite the strengths of the town and its brand new health center, there is only one general practitioner, overwhelmed. And, with the neighboring towns, 3,000 inhabitants are without a doctor.

In Astaffort (Lot-et-Garonne), the singer Francis Cabrel also aims to find a doctor for his village. Here, out of four GPs, there is only one left for 15,000 inhabitants, so we are also counting on video to relaunch applications. An initiative on which the village of Landudec (Finistère) bet in 2016. It took him five more years to succeed in attracting a doctor.
