Faced with the health situation in France, the government has taken major decisions to ensure the follow-up and hospitalization of patients suffering from COVID-19. They have led to a reorganization of hospitals and methods of consulting general practitioners and specialists.
However, if you have a chronic pathology for which you are usually followed (diabetes, heart failure, cancer, psychiatric follow-up for example) or if you need specific or unscheduled follow-up related to another medical situation (follow-up of children and vaccination, follow-up of pregnancies, domestic accident and trauma for example), it is advisable to make or maintain your appointments.
To do this, it will be necessary to contact your treating doctor without delay and to clarify that the request does not concern the Coronavirus infection.
Depending on your situation, the doctor will suggest a teleconsultation or a consultation in his office, with a schedule.
All the precautions are taken so that your reception is done in the best conditions.
It is important not to give up on your care.
If you are usually followed up and there is a suspicion of Coronavirus infection, the doctor will be able to:
– either offer you a teleconsultation, to check the absence of gravity and allow the implementation of coordinated medical follow-up at home with nursing colleagues (tele-follow-up or visit);
– either direct you to a dedicated Covid treatment center nearby
In the absence of your attending physician or in the event of signs of seriousness, dial 15.
Not delaying access to primary care for all patients on our territory is to guarantee the safety and quality of care for all, at the right time, in all offices and all establishments public or private care.
