Public health seems to have become his domain

He kept the reflexes of Office life. As soon as the laptop sounds, he wins. Then, only, it prioritises. Be disturbed only the embarrassment not. When he was Director Deputy Roselyne Bachelot Cabinet, health, Philippe Sauvage preferred by far a redundant call failure to the blunder. A month ago, exceptionally party in weekend two days with his wife and their son in three months, the BlackBerry has sounded once per hour... Each, he replied with weighting. Despite his thirty-three years, the young officer has strong nerves. His passage to health, which he described himself as the Department of "crises permanent(canicule,grippeaviaire,chikungunya...), he will have learned to manage the emergency, or drama.

December 24, he's acting Director of cabinet, avenue Duquesne, when an appeal he learned of the death of Yliès. The three year-old boy, for angina to the Parisian hospital Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, has succumbed. He expected a bleak and peaceful day, this was one of the more obscure... Influenza A (H1N1), on the other hand, the Beauvoir was never in first line, which allowed him to leave the Office of the Minister, on November 30, without having the feeling of desertion.

At the AP - HP, expected it already for long weeks. The hospitals of Paris are more economic and financial director since the summer. But the tension is mounting. The strategic plan, providing for the Elimination of 4,700 jobs the majority of caregivers by 2014, is disputed by the medical profession. It was time that Philippe Sauvage to address 2010 budget which should stop the number of deletions of posts... A truth be told, the Parisien has hesitated before accepting this "challenge". In keeping with its undeviating vision of his route, which leads him to evolve every two years, he was candidate for change, but for the first time, it will be exposed to the sling. "I do not risk much", repeat, as to be convinced.

Impermeable to the media commotion

So far, the X-Mines, son of centralien, was primarily a writer of notes and plans. After a first experience in the prefectural in Lyon, where he was responsible for the poles of competitiveness, he joined in 2005 the Directorate of social security. His first intention was to integrate the Budget, but to be less agreed that others, he accepted the Office of health products. Twenty-nine years, he directed 13 people including a doctor and two pharmacists to learn all of the financing of the healthcare system. Just arrived, he Board in terms of savings on drugs with the unpopular measure, the reimbursement, will make the headlines.

The media DIN does not disorder. Protected within the Department in a fortress, or "cut" of the realities, the engineer bétonne each of its proposals, as to be dunce and therefore indéstabilisable. The Assembly, in the shadow of Roselyne Bachelot in the review of the hospital bill, patients, health and territories, it will handle the pressure and assist the Minister, exhausted, then more than a thousand amendments are tabled. "It was the seventh longest Act, at the time of debate in the history of the Republic", he adds, proud of there having spent a few months of his life.

Even today, it is unlimited on the spatial distribution of physiotherapists in France or the lack of vocations in geriatrics. Public health seems to have become his domain. And consequently that of his wife, Laurence, consultant in finance, that to see more, accompanies it in his dinner in the city. The couple share many. Including the taste of jazz, with a low for Miles Davis listen together, sailing, full artwork.
