Question 17986 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Jean-Pierre Cubertafon alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the growing lack of medical gynecologists, particularly in rural areas. As of January 1, 2019, the number of practicing medical gynecologists fell below 1,000, for nearly 30 million women of consultation age. Since 2007, this number has almost been halved. This drop has direct consequences on consultations. While in 1997, 60% of women regularly and spontaneously consulted their gynecologist, this figure fell to 25% in 2012. Behind this direct consequence, others are to be expected: interruption of follow-up, delayed diagnoses, loss of opportunity, decline in education and awareness actions about gynecological risks. Also, it is the common responsibility to quickly deploy all the necessary measures for training in numbers of young people medical gynecologists in order to make their consultations and care accessible to as many women as possible. He would therefore like to know the courses of action currently being studied by his ministry on this subject.
