Under the direction of Professor Pierre Krolak-Salmon, the Group's new Medical Director, this project will be based on three pillars:

  • A Group Medical Commission, the keystone of the medical project,
  • An International and Interdisciplinary Scientific Council, made up of experts who will support the highest level of our medical and nursing practices,
