Abstract

Studies done by Médecins du Monde indicate that sanitary exclusion is a growing phenomenon in France, children included. Paediatricians must be concerned by this phenomenon, which is related to the social precarity of many families who do not use the standard health care structure. They must understand the reasoning behind the choices of these families, and be involved in the care of their children in places that they accept to visit. Paediatricians should also be present in institutions, conferences and debates where public health policy is discussed in order to defend the place of paediatrics in the sanitary organisation.
