Question 15277 — health

Summary

Mrs. Colette Capdevielle draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the medical gynecology sector, which is experiencing great difficulties linked to a lack of staff. Between 1984 and 2003, the discipline was abolished, depriving many women of specialized care. By reestablishing medical gynecology, the State was committed to repairing the damage caused by rebuilding the specialty through training and deployment throughout the territory. Despite repeated warnings from professionals and associations, the facts contradict these commitments: in 2025, only 80 positions were opened and 867 medical gynecologists worked for 34 million women (compared to 1,945 in 2007). In addition, no specialist was present in nearly 10 departments. As a result, wait times can last for months and many women forgo care. These numbers directly affect women's health. Diagnoses of cancer, endometriosis and even STIs are significantly delayed. This situation is all the more critical in rural and peri-urban areas which suffer from medical desertification. In this context, she wishes to know the Government's intentions regarding the implementation of concrete measures to guarantee women's access to specialized care throughout the country.
