Question 16769 — health

Summary

Ms. Catherine Dellong Meng draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the state of healthcare provision in Gard, and particularly in her constituency. Indeed, the third district of Gard currently has 104 general practitioners, i.e. a ratio of 1 for 1,172 inhabitants, 17 midwives, i.e. a ratio of 1 for 7,171 inhabitants, or even 4 cardiologists, i.e. a ratio of 1 for 30,477 inhabitants. There is an emergency, the health of citizens is at stake. As medical offices empty and emergency rooms close, some patients give up on seeing their primary care physician. According to the Association of Rural Mayors of France, the risk of death is 12% higher for a person living in a rural area than in a city. In addition, a liberal doctor would work on average 50 hours per week, including approximately seven hours devoted to administrative tasks. The MP questions the attractiveness of the medical profession given these conditions of practice. She asks him what measures the Government intends to take to improve medical provision in fragile territories, particularly rural ones, where medical deserts continue to gain ground.
