Almaviva Santé is developing a partnership with the TV programme "Atout santé - pour être acteur de sa santé" ("Atout health - taking control of your health").

Patient care often requires multidisciplinary work involving doctors and nursing staff. Our credo of medical excellence can be interpreted as teamwork between doctor, patient and care staff.

Everyone has an important role to play in the success of the quality of care and the patient's recovery.

The Almaviva Santé Group wanted to create a partnership with thehealth programme "Atout Santé, pour être acteur de sa santé", broadcast on TV Sud Provence and on the web, to explain and give a voice to its doctors and patients, and to inform the general public via a local medium.

The first subjects to be covered concern the Clinique Chantecler in Marseille, which has begun this collaboration with 2 programmes:

• "Hip replacement: a new life for a new hip
• "Amputation: life goes on".

The^1st broadcast of these programmes took place on Monday 2 May at 6.00 pm and 8.30 pm, in the presence of :
