It is the chronicle of a death foretold which found its painful epilogue just last week in Yutz. The Medinf’57 practice, opened in 2012 on the premises of the Ambroise-Paré clinic in Thionville and which had moved to Yutz in 2018, integrating the Sainte-Elisabeth clinic, it closed its doors for good on November 31. This office, which provided primary care and general medicine, helped families in need of doctors, especially in the case of bobology. The adjacent radiology department facilitated diagnosis and treatment. It was running at full capacity, but Medinf had had financial difficulties in the past but he had been able to recover.

It was reluctantly, after a long reflection, that Dr. Nathalie Russo, at the origin of this innovative project, made her decision. “Two doctors worked there, one absent for months. The personnel we were training? He was leaving. We had a staffing problem and were not supported. It was exhausting. No one was ready to take over. Yet we were helpful. We have helped thousands of people over ten years. Nathalie Russo still practices at the Esch hospital in Luxembourg. “I have other projects, but more in France. There are too many obstacles. »
