Les médecins de la Maison de santé pluriprofessionnelle Trait d'union réclament, depuis plusieurs années, des locaux plus grands.

The doctors at the Trait d'union multi-professional health center in Pissevin will finally be able to benefit from premises commensurate with their activities. They recently obtained satisfaction from the City and SPL Agate: prefabricated   will be put in place at the beginning of March, indicates Julien Plantier, president of the SPL and first deputy to the mayor. The permit has been obtained. We are currently dealing with delivery and installation issues. These are three prefabs of 16 to 18 m2, i.e. two offices for two doctors (there are six in total) and a waiting room.

"It was about time, remarks Souresh Ramassamy, general practitioner, who has been upset about this situation for several months. In September 2022, quotes were offered for prefabricated buildings, pending the construction of the new premises. They were refused. Last September, there was an emergency meeting with the ARS. If Mr. Plantier (president of SPL Agate) had signed immediately, we would not have lost any time, knowing that some of us started doing shifts elsewhere. There, people wait outside, in the corridor, in the crowded waiting room. In epidemic times, you imagine ?"

Julien Plantier:  "We should not find ourselves in a situation of medical desert and it will not be not the case."

Rather than polemicizing Julien Plantier prefers to highlight the efforts made: "it has been long-term work for the City, the SPL, the health authorities in conjunction with the doctors. There was a lot of in-depth work. In this sense, I salute Olivier Bonnet and Dolorès Orlay-Moureau (urban renovation assistant and health assistant) who have also worked a lot on the subject. we saw the doctors dozens of times, we made many suggestions. We reached the objective: we should not find ourselves in a situation of medical desert and that will not be the case."

Concerning the future premises, "we are still on the idea of ​​starting work this year, with the operator GGL, explains Julien Plantier . Here too, we are moving forward with determination."
