The health crisis has further strengthened the confidence of the French in their hospital system. They will make the hospital and health one of the major challenges of the presidential election.
No, it will not only be the questions of immigration and security, carried by the LR primary and the far-right candidates in recent weeks, in the presidential debates: the hospital and health will also be major challenges for the French.
This is the teaching of an Odoxa-Onepoint survey published yesterday when the 5e wave of Covid threatens to disrupt the holiday season. “Health and hospital are an important issue for 9 out of 10 French people and more than two-thirds (68%) of voters will also make it a key issue in their vote in the presidential election 2. But the French think that the politicians did not understand it, because they are 8 out of 10 to estimate that the subject is not currently treated well by the candidates in the campaign “, indicates Gaël Sliman, president of Odoxa, which notes that more than 8 French in 10 believe that hospitals and clinics and their staff have been up to the health crisis, contrary to politicians. Thus, 88% of patients who have attended a hospital or clinic say they are satisfied with their experience.
The boom in digital e-health tools
Another important lesson: the appetite of the French for digital health tools. This e-health is popular, especially making appointments via Doctolib and teleconsultation: 76% of French people use the application (or its competitors) and one in four teleconsultation, an increase of 3.5 from the start of the Covid crisis. “7 out of 10 French people expect many changes from our health system, which will affect the way health professionals work, medical techniques, the patient experience and the ergonomics of health establishments”, estimates Emmanuel de Gastines , from Onepoint.
“This crisis is a perfect illustration of the Schumpeterian concept of creative destruction, it turns out to be a factor in accelerating innovations in the field of health. It is up to politicians and players in the hospital world to integrate it well and to draw lessons from it, ”believes Gaël Sliman.
