WISHES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM

 EMMANUEL MACRON TO CAREGIVERS

A reorganization of work in the hospital

Denouncing "hyper-rigidity" in the application of 35 hours and a system that "only works with overtime", Emmanuel Macron promised a reorganization of work in the hospital "by June 1" in order to to retain caregivers who leave and make the sector more attractive.

An increase in the number of medical assistants from 4,000 to 10,000

Created in 2018 to assist private doctors in order to allow them to receive more patients, there will be more medical assistants. “We now have nearly 4,000 medical assistants who have already signed a contract, which is a real success. (…) We must reach 10,000 by the end of next year”, announced the Head of State.

The end of fee-for-service pricing

Emmanuel Macron also announced the pure and simple "exit" from the much criticized fee-for-service pricing in hospitals from the next Social Security budget, in favor of financing on "public health objectives", negotiated " on a territorial scale”. “Many of the debates are tense around this famous activity-based pricing. (…) The method of remuneration (…) does not take unscheduled care into account. It poorly takes into account the more complex activities that are going to take time,” he said.

Doctors for all patients with chronic disease

From the end of 2023, the 600,000 people with a chronic illness without a doctor will be offered one. In the absence of a "treating doctor", they will have access to a "treating team" of caregivers from various disciplines.

Beyond the only chronic patients, the Minister of Health, François Braun, had already promised that, among the 6 million patients without a doctor, all those who wish would have one "by the end of the five-year period".
