A medical desert is a geographical zone where healthcare providers and general practitioners are severely lacking compared to the rest of the country it generally refers to healthcare in the community such as GPs or family doctors, dentists or community nurses, rather than hospitals.Medical desertification mainly affects rural areas with an ageing population though they're also developing in some towns and cities (including some Paris suburbs) as retiring doctors are not replaced and younger medics establish themselves in more dynamic zones, both in terms of economy and activities.
