At the end of the summer, Doctolib was the indirect target of a controversy over the choice to reference, alongside health professionals, non -scientific practices – magnetizers, naturopaths, etc. Two months later, what choice made your business?
This is a decision that is strong and which was not obvious: we will refocus on the regulated professions. So only professionals who have an Adeli or RPPS number, who are referenced by the health authorities, will be able to use the doctolib services. This means that 5,700 practitioners, who are now users of our services and who only carry out well-being activities, will no longer be able to use Doctolib services. They have a six-month transition period, in accordance with our contractual conditions, to reorganize their management of appointments.
