The French government officially adopted a reform of the National Order of Physicians (Ordre national des mΓ©decins) on June 26, 2026, according to official announcements. The reform aims to modernize the regulatory body that oversees medical professionals in France.
Key changes include updated procedures for disciplinary actions and enhanced transparency in the order's operations. The reform also addresses the representation of younger doctors and specialists within the organization.
Health Minister Catherine Vautrin stated that the reform will improve patient safety and streamline the registration process for doctors. The measure was approved after consultations with medical unions and professional associations.
The National Order of Physicians, established in 1940, is responsible for maintaining the ethical and professional standards of doctors in France. The reform is part of broader healthcare system updates under the current government.
