Aurélie Franc

Reporter, Health

I joined the “Santé” section of Contexte’s Paris team in November 2022.

With a degree from the Institute of Political Studies (IEP by its acronym in French) in Bordeaux and a fascination for health-related issues, I completed a work-study programme between the Institute of Practical Journalism (IPJ by its acronym in French) and Le Figaro health from 2016 to 2018.

I then worked for the Agence de Presse Médicale’s “politics and health” section for four years, where I focused on public decisions on psychiatry and mental health, end-of-life, healthcare and even health studies.
