The specific nature of border hospitals finally taken into account by the French government

The aim of the amendment is to grant new resources to health establishments on the borders of Luxembourg and Switzerland, following the model of the geographical coefficients already used in Corsica, the French overseas territories and the Ile de France region. The aim is to make hospitals at a disadvantage compared with foreign establishments more attractive, with the major problem being the lack of staff on the French side.  Negotiations are currently underway to define the terms and conditions of this agreement.
