A collective of over 300 public health actors, including Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Dominique Costagliola, expresses shock at a possible reorganization of Santé publique France that would threaten its independence. This measure, based on an unpublished report, plans to transfer prevention campaigns to the Ministry of Health under direct government authority. The signatories emphasize the need to maintain independent scientific expertise for health policies.
