Train more, hire more, pay more, open more beds … Promises rain towards caregivers. In the health field, the health crisis was notable that it has reset the hospital programs, drained by two years of pandemic but especially more than a decade of budgetary scheme.
From now, unanimity seems to put in the ranks of presidential election candidates: more doctors, nurses, caregivers … at Valérie Pécresse (LR), we plan 25,000 positions more caregivers in the hospital and a doubling of the number of physicians trained.
