There were thousands of them, threatened with losing their jobs: the government announced this Monday that it will extend the work authorizations of doctors with foreign diplomas (non-EU) who failed a selective competition, and allow the winners of the competition to stay in their current services.
“Essential to our health system”
In a press release, the Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity Catherine Vautrin explains that, at the request of the President of the Republic, she wants to “secure the situation of Padhue (practitioners with qualifications outside the European Union), doctors who have become essential to our system health “.
These practitioners, who have often worked for several years in French health establishments, were this year forced to pass a selective competition, called “knowledge verification tests” (EVC), to be able to continue practicing.
A derogation regime which previously allowed establishments to hire non-laureates under various precarious statuses “extinct” on December 31, making it impossible for them to remain in their positions.
” Illegal immigrant “
But the limited number of places in this competition – 2,700 positions for several thousand candidates, who can also take this competition from abroad – had left a large part of them in the lurch, some even finding themselves “without papers” because their residence permit is often conditional on their work.
Heads of service and hospital unions had also denounced the territorial distribution planned for the winners of the competition, established by state services, believing that it would deprive many services of part of their resources.
The doctors who did not have the competition “will not be left without a solution: the government will authorize them to continue working during the months to come”, announces Catherine Vautrin in this press release.
