In 2007, with 12 years of surgical practice in the public and private sectors, Dr Maire thinks that the health market is waiting for a health structure that would be optimal if we managed to add together the strengths of the private and public sectors. The concept he imagines proposes to gather, under the same roof, the medical expertise and the responsiveness of private clinics with the philosophy of “welcome for all”, taking care of all patients regardless of their coverage. insurance. To do so, he proposed a system of financing by package, an avant-garde concept for the time, in which no one believed, but which foreshadowed the DRG system that the health authorities finally accepted and deployed years later.
