Préoccupation écologique et médecine libérale sont-elles compatibles ? (French)

Are 'ecological concerns' and liberal medicine compatible? (English)

Résumé: Alors que le système de santé s'avère très polluant, la préoccupation écologique est quant à elle de plus en plus ancrée parmi les professionnels de santé. Comment allier la limitation de l'empreinte écologique et l'exercice de la médecine libérale ? Cette étude qualitative suggère plusieurs pistes : repenser la construction des infrastructures de santé, réorganiser les cabinets médicaux, promouvoir le concept de santé planétaire grâce à Internet ou à des associations. While the health system is proving to be very polluting, ecological concerns are becoming increasingly important among health professionals. How can the limitation of the ecological footprint be combined with the practice of liberal medicine? This qualitative study suggests several avenues: rethinking the construction of health infrastructures, reorganizing medical practices, promoting the concept of global health through the Internet or associations.
