The Caisse Centrale de Crédit Coopératif may carry out any financial transactions on behalf of sociétés coopératives de médecins and their unions, in particular :
1° Make available to them funds specially allocated to them or that it may obtain by means of loans or by rediscounting subscribed bills;
2° To act as guarantor for their loans;
3° Receive and manage their deposits.
An order of the ministers responsible for the economy and finance, health and labour determines the conditions under which the sociétés coopératives de médecins may benefit from this financial assistance. In any event, this assistance cannot be granted if the cooperative is responsible for the hospitalisation of patients.
