Question 7093 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Jean-Pierre Taite draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, to the situation of medical gynecology in France. For the first time since the reestablishment of training obtained in 2003 with the diploma of specialized studies in medical gynecology, the number of students admitted to follow the internship to become medical gynecologist suffered a reduction in scale, going from 91 positions for the year 2023-2024 to 79 for 2024-2025. This reduction goes completely against the decisions previously taken by the public authorities to make it a “protected” specialty with regard to the allocation of the number of intern positions to allow its necessary reconstruction. However, the situation of medical gynecology in France is not improving. There are 11 departments in which there is no gynecologist! The consequences are being felt and can be very dangerous for women's health: increasingly long waiting times, increasingly long distances to travel, delayed diagnoses, etc. Women really need these specialist doctors for the prevention and care of sexually transmitted infections, for the management of contraception and abortion, for finally education, when a study by the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (ISERM) shows that in just 5 years young people have considerably changed their behavior: reduction in use of the pill, decline in vaccination against hepatitis B and HPV, increase in unwanted pregnancies, demedicalization of sexual health, etc. This is why he asks him what his intentions are to protect the number of positions and restore its necessary place to this specialty essential to the lives of women.
