Since Monday, June 12, deputies have been examining a bill aimed at finding a remedy for the lack of care, by framing the installation of new doctors. But this idea is not unanimous.
For the past few days, the town of Froidfond, in Vendée, has no longer had a doctor. A situation far from being isolated today: 87% of French territory is considered a medical desert. Monday, June 12, the deputies examined a bill aimed at finding a remedy for the lack of care. Guillaume Garot, MP socialist of Mayenne, wants to supervise the installation of new doctors.
An amendment supported by more than 200 deputies
But the idea is not unanimous among practicing doctors and future caregivers. “This will make the job even less attractive”, laments a medical student. A fear shared by the government and François Braun, the Minister of Health, who considers this bill to be “completely counter-productive”. Supported by more than 200 deputies, this amendment could nevertheless be adopted at the end of the debates.
