“I have no successor”: faced with the shortage, these doctors who postpone their retirement

Patients on the floor: this is the fear of at least 12,000 general practitioners who, today, still practice when they have passed retirement age. Without them, the medical deserts – where the number of practitioners per inhabitant is insufficient – would be even more numerous. Emmanuel Macron announced, Wednesday evening on France 2, that they would soon no longer be required to contribute beyond the legal retirement age, just to encourage them to continue their activity. Is it sufficient ? All point to a “critical” situation.
