15,000 euros to finance the fitting out work for new health professionals. This is the measure taken by the City of Paris to fight against the desertification of doctors in sector 1.
Paris, a medical desert to come? By 2020, our capital could well lose half of its health professionals who do not exceed fees. The City hopes not to come to this. An installation subsidy, “Paris Med ‘” (1), will be submitted to the next Paris Council.
“In 2014, the number of general practitioners who settled in private in Paris can be counted on the fingers of both hands, while the retirement of doctors could mean that, within five years, some districts lose up to 50% of their practitioners in sector 1 ”, explains in a press release Bernard Jomier, Deputy Mayor in charge of health, disability and relations with the AP-HP.
Up to 350 € / m2 rent
The Paris Med ‘system, if adopted by the Paris Council, will offer a subsidy for installation. The beneficiaries will receive up to 15,000 euros for their development and / or equipment work. The objective: to encourage young health professionals to settle in the capital. Because the difficulties are real.
“In Paris, the creation of a medical practice is confronted with 2 specific difficulties: the low number of goods adapted or adaptable to the new conditions of medical practice and the cost of the hiring, sometimes prohibitive, higher than 350 € / m2 (while the price of the consultation in sector 1 remains the same throughout the territory) ”, deplores Dr. Loïc Tirmarche, general practitioner in Paris, in a press release.
The subsidy is of course not without compensation. The beneficiaries undertake to remain in sector 1, that is to say that they will not practice excess fees, for at least three years. They will also have to carry out public health actions on the Parisian territory. “Paris Med ‘is aimed at general practitioners, the focal points of the system, but also pediatricians, midwives, ophthalmologists, gynecologists, psychiatrists and all paramedical health professionals, such as nurses, physiotherapists, etc.”, details Bernard Jomier.
The system will be directed as a priority towards deficit and fragile areas and neighborhoods that the Regional Health Agency (ARS) will have defined as priorities.
(1) The Paris Med ‘system was developed with the Regional Health Agency (ARS), the Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie de Paris (CPAM 75), the Departmental Council of the Order of Physicians, the Île-de-France region. de-France and the Departments of general medicine of the universities of the city of Paris.
