The Santé 4 association (50 members with the dynamism of young professionals) has become an important spokesperson, an essential interlocutor representing an entire professional environment: that of caregivers whoever they are. The current president is the monflanquin physiotherapist Philippe Furlan and sheds light on “the existing medical system” concerning the Bastides and Haut-Agenais Périgord sector (Monflanquin, Castillonnès, Cancon and Villeréal). It is full of teaching on a situation called “rural medical desert”. So of course, you can only see the half empty glass… or the half full one. Santé 4 reasoned with realism: “We have not yet managed to cover as we would like the needs for practitioners of all specialties and even if we are still waiting and hoping for installations, we are moving forward because the Medical Houses have been created or are in progress. become next. “
Inventory
Philippe Furlan draws up an inventory specifying that the patients have “in Monflanquin of two doctors, two nursing practices with a total of 7 professionals such as an azalea nurse, a midwife, a psychologist, a pedicure-podiatry practice with two professionals, a massage-physiotherapy practice with three professionals, a dietitian as well as the ADMR, EMPR, Relais maternal assistance; 13 premises are occupied, one pooled, two are vacant following the departure of Dr Sicot and the stoppage of Ms Dragomir, the surgeon. dentist, a meeting room. In Cancon, there are: two doctors, two nursing offices with 6 professionals, a physiotherapist, a psychologist for 6 occupied premises, 1 shared, 1 vacant and 1 apartment with 2 rooms for trainee or substitute.
In Villeréal there are: a pedicure-podiatrist, a dietician, a neuropsychologist and the ADMR; 4 premises are occupied, one shared, one vacant and a tele-expertise room on standby. The Medical Center of Castillonnès, currently under construction, will have a doctor, a pedicure-podiatrist, a midwife and a speech therapist for 4 occupied premises, a mutualized, an emergency room. In a second step, an extension will be considered for other health professionals. “
The observation is simple, there is a lack of general practitioners, dentists and speech therapists in the community. And the president concluded “all new professionals are welcomed by the association in order to present to them our health territory and the actions carried out by the association”. And healthcare professionals are not required to work in a nursing home to join Santé 4.
