A hundred people took part, on the evening of Thursday April 20, at the Antoinette-Vernes room in Rambouillet, in the public meeting organized by the Sud-Yvelines public health hospital collective, which is calling for the creation of a health center within of the Rambouillet Territoires agglomeration community.

Christophe Prudhomme, emergency doctor, and Michèle Leflon, president of the national coordination of the defense collectives of local hospitals and maternity wards, were present to remind that “the medicine of the 21st century is different from that of the 20th century. The relief of emergencies promised by Emmanuel Macron is not credible due to the absence of the field doctor, who no longer makes home visits”.
The two speakers stressed that a home visit by a doctor would make it possible to treat emergencies before they required the use of firefighters. “And it costs a lot less.”
Rise in local taxes, continued investment, new hospital… What to remember from the Rambouillet municipal council
The Sud-Yvelines public health hospital collective says it has received a negative response from the Rambouillet Territories urban community to its request to build a public health center. Two “bad” reasons, judge the collective, would have been advanced: this project does not fall within the competences of the agglomeration community and it would be out of budget. The collective recalled that it had provided a budget “which was well balanced”.
Petition. The Sud-Yvelines public health hospital collective has put a questionnaire and a petition online to identify the needs and fears of the inhabitants of the region. More than 1,000 signatures, representing 2,300 people, have already been collected. Among the signatories, 9.6% no longer have an attending physician. 37% fear that they will no longer have one in the next few years due to the retirement of theirs.
