In the Bléone valley, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, a few kilometers from Digne-les-Bains, the arrival exceeded expectations. The Médecins Solidaires collective, which brings together around 900 volunteer general practitioners to practice for a week at one health center, established its tenth health center in the town of Le Brusquet in early November. The first in the region. “ We weren’t expected to be in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, this was a surprise », admits Doctor Martial Jardel. Because, at first glance, the region is one of the best – if not the best – equipped in terms of health professionals: 412 doctors per 100,000 inhabitants including 169 general practitioners.
