Doctor Yasmine Rabehi very recently informed me of her decision to cease her professional activity within the Seyne-les-Alpes medical office from the end of April 2024. Faced with this announced departure, doctors Philippe Ertlen and Charly Extra expressed their concerns to me regarding the continuation of their activity“, explains the mayor of Seyne-les-Alpes, Laurent Pascal, in a press release.

Working conditions would have deteriorated significantly with a greater workload, more frequent on-call calls, and increasing financial burdens if the medical practice only relies on two doctors instead of three, which would harm the provision of care. patient care.

In order for the Seyne medical office to function properly given the number of patients followed and variations in tourist populations, it appears that four doctors are necessary.“, continues the first magistrate who indicates to the Seynois and, more broadly, to all the inhabitants of the country of Seyne, that “the municipality is fully mobilized to resolve this problem“.

In the coming days, the first magistrate will receive the three current doctors to study the situation and outline the first directions of an action plan which will be implemented with the other mayors of the Blanche and Bès valleys, the Agency regional health and Provence-Alpes Agglomération whose president, Patricia Granet-Brunello, has already assured its support and support for its services.

The search for doctors becomes, from today, the number one priority for municipal action. I will personally follow this file and ensure that we move forward quickly in order to complete the team before the departure of Doctor Rabehi“, concludes Laurent Pascal.

At the Seyne medical office, two interns are currently in training but, unlike doctors Rabehi and Extra who arrived this way, they have not expressed the wish to settle down.

Other elected officials from other valleys are faced with this same shortage of general practitioners, as in the Ubaye valley.

In Jausiers, where the medical office was bought by the City ready to facilitate the installation, the town has remained without a doctor for many months.

In Barcelonnette, it was the retirement of Dr Fabienne Cordier who was not replaced. The patient population transferred to other practices and the health center, which were already very saturated.
