The practice of mobile medicine is prohibited.
However, when the needs of public health so require, a doctor may be authorised to provide consultations and care in a mobile unit according to a pre-established programme.
The application for authorisation is sent to the departmental council in whose area the planned activity is located. The council checks that the doctor has taken all the necessary steps to respond to emergencies and guarantee the quality, safety and continuity of care for the patients under his care.
Authorisation is personal and non-transferable. It may be terminated if the conditions set out in the previous two paragraphs are no longer met.
The departmental council on whose roll the doctor is registered is informed of the application if it concerns a locality in another department.
