Deployment of junior doctors against medical deserts

In early November 2026, 243 junior doctors opened their practices in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, including 22 in the Landes, as part of the national scheme to combat medical deserts. In the following days, deployments were announced or observed in several territories, including 17 junior doctors in the Jura, 24 in Guadeloupe and Saint-Martin, 62 in Champagne-Ardenne, and nearly 3,000 junior doctors across France this autumn. Local examples were reported in Auch, Foix, in the Hérault, in Saint-Dizier, in Courtisols, and in Neuf-Berquin, where patients say they are satisfied while medical students remain reserved. The scheme nonetheless struggles to fully convince young doctors and divides practitioners, while municipalities such as Estissac remain without a doctor and others, such as Limeil-Brévannes, recruit general practitioners before the end of their studies.

Angle comparison for the whole story

The three sides cover the deployment of junior doctors in underserved areas, but the left emphasizes the response to medical deserts and the supervision of internships, the center prioritizes local cases of reopening or arrival of practitioners, and the right highlights the constrained nature of the assignment and the imposed tenth year.

Left

Highlights the public health purpose (responding to medical deserts, areas with major difficulty accessing care) and the framework of the internship under the responsibility of a supervising practitioner, with examples of slots open to new patients.

Centre

Prioritizes local and concrete developments: the reopening of a practice closed since 2024, dated arrivals in health centers, the number of doctors by department or sector, citing local elected officials and practitioners.

Right

Emphasizes the national scale (nearly 3,000 intakes) and the imposed nature of the scheme, with the validation of a tenth year carried out in underserved areas, formulated as an endured assignment.
