Émile Roger Lombertie is remembered in medicine for work that altered practice rather than merely argument.
The record lists Émile Roger Lombertie as French psychiatrist and politician.
Émile Roger Lombertie was born at Champsac in 1951. His recorded nationality is France.

Most medical progress is invisible: it shows up as an illness that no longer kills anyone.
Recognition followed: Anticor Ethical prize (2015) and Knight of the Legion of Honour (2020).
That the work was done from France matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Émile Roger Lombertie is still working, and the assessment of the contribution is not yet complete.
