Health organization in Dordogne

Access to care and the demographics of healthcare professionals are a major concern in the Dordogne. The territories are today weakened by the insufficiency or even the gradual disappearance of health professionals in certain municipalities of the department. No territory is spared and maintaining equal access to local care is becoming complex to ensure.

This is why the Departmental Council is fully committed to allowing all Périgordins to access quality care in less than 15 minutes, throughout the territory and regardless of their level of income.

This determination to guarantee the efficiency and quality of healthcare provision in the Dordogne resulted in the adoption on 15 January 2018 of the departmental plan for access to local healthcare.

Developed in co-construction with a variety of partners (State, Regional Health Agency, CPAM, Order of Health Professionals, etc.), this plan aims to propose, between supporters of health policy and supporters of territorial policies, the ways and the means of their cooperation, essential to meet the challenges of an ambitious health policy.

The proactive policy of the Department is thus committed to:

• guarantee equal access to fair, equitable and supportive primary care, less than 10-15 minutes away;
• develop and diversify the care offer in the regions;
• promote the establishment and maintenance of health professionals;
• continue the development and attractiveness of territories.

The departmental plan offers the range of tools to be mobilized to develop a diversified, local and quality care offer. It reflects a strong and concerted action and thus contributes to improving the health of all and access to quality care throughout our territory.
