POLICY: Guillaume Arnell questions the Minister of Health about overseas emergencies

0

In a session of questions to the government Tuesday, May 29, the senator from Saint-Martin challenged the Minister of Health on access to care, which is "a right that is not guaranteed everywhere". And precisely on the situation of emergency physicians.

He notably cited the post-Irma situation in Saint-Martin which "has further amplified the lack of sedentarization of doctors". "Out of eleven emergency physician positions, only five are filled and out of the four anesthesiologist positions, only one is filled," observes Guillaume Arnell, aware of the "lack of attractiveness of the territory" with in particular "a lack of housing and degraded living conditions ”.

Agnès Buzyn, Minister of Solidarity and Health, hoarse, said that "the emergency situation worried her". In Saint-Martin, "the difficulty of recruiting emergency doctors creates a very strong tension on the hospital," she admits. She announced that in Guyana, the health reserve was going to be sent. One hundred posts of medical specialists and specialist assistants have been created overseas.
