The City makes available all the means at its disposal to receive children whose parents are health professionals or personnel essential to the health system. Find all the information for babysitting health personnel.

A meeting was organized between the mayor of Paris and the representatives of general practitioners and paramedical professions to study all the means to facilitate the exercise of their activity .
Thus, 500,000 masks will be available to doctors, nurses and health workers in Paris for their protection and that of their patients . This decision responds to the concerns expressed by the representatives of these professionals received on March 14, 2020 at the Hôtel de Ville. An additional stock of masks will also be transferred to the AP-HP.
To cope with a possible influx of requests, borough mayors were asked to plan the provision of rooms to accommodate consultations by general practitioners whose waiting rooms would be too small .
Fifteen maternal and child protection centers will be opened as well as the family planning and education center, 12 rue Gaston Tessier 19th (tel: 01 40 38 84 70), and the Cité maternal protection center, which remain mobilized for awareness-raising interventions with the most vulnerable audiences.
