This general paralysis affects many sectors, including healthcare. The situation is extremely complicated, given the difficulty French people face in accessing a medical consultation under normal circumstances.
• How can one see a doctor in case of a medical emergency?
• Are teleconsultations increasing during the strike?
• How will doctors and pharmacies manage the influx of demand?
“Teleconsultation is the only effective and viable solution in response to the immobilization of transport due to the strike,” explains Nathaniel Bern, co-founder of Medadom. The Parisian startup has created a mobile and web application that connects patients directly with a doctor from their home or a pharmacy. “Our doctors are available 7 days a week in less than 10 minutes for optimal care under amendments 6 and 15 to the medical convention,” continues Nathaniel Bern.
Teleconsultation stands out as THE solution to compensate for the lack of transportation. Indeed, the absence of travel is the key advantage of this practice: it allows patients to access care without geographical constraints.
