Before the Canton again regulates the number of doctors practicing in private, they hurry to settle. For their part, the HUG want to create a “senior” sector.

In the near future, it will be difficult for a young doctor to open a medical practice. This summer, an amendment to federal law reintroduced the need clause. This arrangement makes it possible to plan the number of healthcare providers who can bill at the expense of health insurance. Geneva has already experienced this regime (read below). Are the doctors going to hurry to settle in before they can no longer do so? At the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG), a thrill was felt: 19 psychiatrists heads of clinics (executives) have resigned in recent months. By comparison, only 3 had left in 2020. The department (including emergencies) has 59 full-time clinic manager positions today.
