This measure will be part of the Social Security financing bill (PLFSS) for 2023, presented at the end of September to the Council of Ministers. The idea is to “better follow” the younger generations “during their lifetime”, with the emphasis placed on elements specific to these different ages. For 25-year-old French people, the purpose of the consultation will be to “take stock of vaccines, their physical activity, possible addictions or difficulties linked to the start of professional life”. At 45, the doctor will discuss with the patient the need for screening for different cancers and the consideration of mental health. At 65, issues related to “loss of autonomy” will be discussed in particular, specifies the Minister of Health at the JDD. Share: Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share by email Share link
