While there are many places in France where the dialogue between private and public hospital structures is not necessarily efficient, that between the public establishments of Eure-et-Loir and the clinics are functioning.
Like the Vernouillet clinic, the private hospital in Eure-et-Loir (formerly Saint-François de Mainvilliers clinic) has entered into a partnership with the Chartres and Dreux hospitals.
The alliance between the Dreux hospital and the Maison Blanche clinic in Vernouillet works against the Covid-19
“Last year, we had on our technical platforms so-called urgent surgery patients, often cancer patients, who had been transferred from public hospitals”, explains the director, Michel Labro. “At that time, the public hospital was taking care of all the Covid activity. This strategy turned out to be a bit fragile and we too had to take Covid patients. “

The clinic does not accept intensive care patients
The Mainvilliers clinic does not accept Covid patients in intensive care, as its director points out, “simply because we do not have the authorization. In normal times, the medical activity of the Eure-et-Loir private hospital does not require resuscitation on site ”.
However, the establishment manages infected people: “Currently, we have a multipurpose medicine unit dedicated to Covid-19 with twenty beds, all occupied, including six beds which are beds in continuing care units, with oxygen therapy. low flow (respiratory aid with sustained monitoring). “
Shedding of surgical activity
“The service has been full for several weeks,” says the director. The clinic also has four emergency beds for Covid and symptomatic patients who come by themselves or who are referred by the Samu and who need medical supervision.
