France is undergoing demographic change, with an increase in the proportion of its population aged over 65 (21.8% in 2024, compared with 16.3% in 2005). This trend is contributing to the growing need for medical care. At the same time, the number of retired doctors has risen considerably. These retirements are weakening the current medical supply, which is no longer able to meet the needs of the population. By 2024, 6 million people in France did not have a general practitioner.
A number of regions have taken this issue in hand, proposing policies to attract doctors and, more broadly, healthcare workers. This is the case of the Loir-et-Cher department, which has set up a proactive approach to attract healthcare professionals to its territory, in conjunction with the Be LC attractiveness agency. By mobilizing its local ecosystem, and thanks to innovative prospecting, communication and installation support, the Be LC agency is working to improve the department's medical coverage. By acting as a one-stop shop in this area, the agency facilitates the process for professionals and reinforces the effectiveness of the region's attractiveness policy.
