Medical procedure data from the SOS Médecins associations

Due to a nationwide strike by SOS Médecins medical staff and the suspension of data transmission since November 24, 2021, the data may be underestimated for the month of November 2021.

• SOS Médecins consultations for anxiety remained stable between 2020 and 2021 (January through November) but increased compared to 2019 (+21.6%) and 2018 over the same period (+29.4%).
