A health center operating with retired hospital specialists will open in January in Paris, a response to the shortage of doctors financed in particular by a philanthropic foundation.
“We want to offer access to high-level specialists, who will be able to provide second or third recourse assistance on complex cases”in a large number of disciplines, specifies Jeremy Renard, one of the project leaders with a duo of doctors, liver specialist Yvon Calmus and Dipak Mandjee.
The future “Odon Vallet medical specialty center” we are counting on the large pool of hospital and university hospital doctors reached by the age limit, but who seek to pursue a medical activity, he indicates.
Retired doctors will choose the volume of activity they want to have, and will have employee status which will avoid administrative complications.
A few months before its opening, the center has recruited around twenty practitioners, but is seeking to expand its team, to reach a critical mass of 70 to 80 practitioners.
It will be located in premises of 277 square meters in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
The Paris town hall and the Île-de-France region participated in the initial investment of the center, around 1 million euros, but the largest envelope came from the Vallet foundation, whose name the health center will bear .
Created by the historian of religions Odon Vallet and his brother Jean-Daniel, heirs to an important legacy from their father, the foundation is known for the scholarships it offers to underprivileged young people.
