We will support the patient and those around them very early on, as soon as the illness is announced. Treatment will become early and multidisciplinary. This report will allow us to then develop an ambitious ten-year strategy, which will be announced in January. » declared Agnès Firmin Le Bodo, Minister Delegate in charge of Territorial Organization and Health Professions
