The town of Clamart (Hauts-de-Seine) is strengthening ties with its hospitals. The municipality has just voted Thursday, September 15 the granting of a grant of 100,000 euros to the Army Instruction Hospital (HIA) Percy located on its territory. The sum will be intended to equip the discharge rooms of the emergency department, which is currently the subject of an ambitious work program piloted by the Ministry of the Armed Forces, supervising the HIA.
20,000 to 35,000 patients
Initially reserved for wounded armies repatriated from theaters of foreign operations, and a benchmark establishment for the reception of polytrauma victims, the HIA is now 80% frequented by civilians. The objective of the plan initiated by the Ministry of Defense, which puts 13 million euros on the table, is therefore to strengthen the healthcare offer in the territory, by increasing the capacity to receive emergencies from 20,000 to 35,000 annual patients. The emergency rooms will therefore triple in size, to reach 3,000 square meters, with eight removal rooms against three currently. The work should theoretically be completed in 2022. In 2017, the service dedicated to the treatment of major burns had already been completely modernized.
Counterparty
Clamart’s endowment is part of a partnership with the HIA, which provides, in return, for increased investment by Percy’s health professionals in the two municipal health centers. Doctors specializing in HIA will thus come to do one or two monthly shifts in specialties where the city is struggling to recruit professionals: hepato-gastroenterology, thoracic vascular surgery, dermatology. Objective, in particular, to shorten appointment times for patients.
“Like all cities, we are faced with shortages of professionals in certain specialties and with the aging of practitioners. This partnership also allows us to create “signposted routes” so that patients from health centers can be taken care of at the Army Instruction Hospital in Percy ”, it is argued in the office of the mayor of Clamart, Jean- Didier Berger. Clamart also hosts another health establishment, the Antoine-Béclère hospital, with which the city wishes to establish links.
