Find a Doctor


Gaspé now has a seventh of Family Medicine Group (FMG). Thursday, a new grouping was launched in Matane. Nearly 20 doctors working together to provide better access to health care and medical monitoring improved.

Around Matane, nearly 600 people have no family doctor. The Director General of Health and Social Services in the Lower St. Lawrence, Claude Levesque, said that the new service will reduce that number.

The head of GMF, Diane Pinel, said that the situation at the hospital Matane should improve. "It is hoped that by giving an additional service that will relieve the urgency," she said, and that the real patients, who should be the emergency will be able to see a doctor. "

Already, nearly 7,000 patients are enrolled in the Group of Family Medicine Matane. The direction of reunification hopes to double that number in the coming months
