Prevention and screening centers Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

The association was founded in 2005 under the name Arpeije (Association pour la Recherche, l'Éducation et l'Information des Jeunes Épileptiques). Having merged with the BFE - which focused on adults - the association changed its name to Epilepsie France, addressing both children and adults. It regularly organizes discussion groups, conferences and other events.

Even in Marseille, the second largest city in France, there are few family planning centres. Four, since the centre of the Francois-Harvest Street, which had several years of uncertainty, closed definitively. On the other hand, at National Boulevard, the premises are new, the reception hotlines with medical practitioners are frequent and without appointment (Monday morning and afternoon Monday to Friday). To obtain consultation with a doctor, possibly an abortion orientation, an appointment must be made.

A collective of associations, Asud was born in Paris almost 20 years ago at the worst time of the AIDS epidemic among drug users. Today, the association is playing on words to seriously ask if it can be considered as a group of drug patients, an active queue of militant patients for better care or a meeting of citizens, users and/or former drug users, who for 2 decades hammer the same message: consumer repression is unproductive in public health. We need more moyesn to greet people who are addicted, to accompany them towards abstinence or substitution without judging them, and to propose alternatives to life. Asud Marseille, which has just changed its premises, provides anonymous and free reception hotlines, participates in the global prevention and risk reduction programme, including the distribution of sterile single-use syringes, the recovery of used equipment. The individual health and social aspect is increasing with collective activities, writing workshops, speaking groups, moments of conviviality, meals exchanged.

The timely breast diagnosis, the quick consultation appointments, the cancer research centre, master's teaching, the follow-up of oncology phd complete the device of this active centre where care is also provided.
