Getting Medical Treatment in France THE BEST HOSPITALS AN INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM GETTING MEDICAL TREATMENT IN FRANCE SEVEN MEDICAL SPECIALITIES AND LISTS OF THE HOSPITALS WHERE YOU CAN RECEIVE TREATMENT › GETTING MEDICAL TREATMENT IN FRANCE / EDITORIAL EDITORIAL France is internationally renowned for its healthcare system and a long tradition of hospitality. For the first time, the healthcare possibilities in France are being presented in an informational brochure for patients around the world. France is a wellspring of medical innovation. Our teams of doctors and researchers, trained according to the most rigorous standards, are behind some of the world’s most important discoveries in a variety of therapeutic fields. To make its expertise available to all, France has decided to consolidate its care infrastructure for individuals seeking medical treatment in our country. Making the choice to be away from one’s family to obtain the best treatment is never easy. Moreover, such a decision is often made when a patient is in pain or distress and with great urgency. It is essential that every stage of this decision-making process be made as simple as possible, whether it be in terms of finding the most suitable facility, preparing administrative requirements or planning the trip for the patient and family members. France now has a system in place to assist patients during this difficult time and facilitate their care from start to finish so they can focus on healing. Access to French healthcare is now much easier, with a facilitated health visa process, improved hosting conditions for patients and their families, tailored services, and specially trained staff available if needed. Patients who do not have access to the care they need in their home countries can now receive medical treatment and care that meets their quality, cost and hospitality expectations. And perhaps the bounty of treasures that can be found all around the country can further heal patients who have chosen to come to France for their treatment. › GETTING MEDICAL TREATMENT IN FRANCE / SUMMARY SUmmary Healthcare in France, international excellence 2 Practical information 6 Discover France, a unique experience 8 Cardiology 10 Gynaecology – obstetrics 12 Neurology 14 Oncology 16 Orthopaedic services 18 Paediatrics 20 Rehabilitation services 22 1 › GETTING MEDICAL TREATMENT IN FRANCE / OVERVIEW HEALTHCARE IN FRANCE INTERNATIONAL EXCELLENCE RENOWNED HEALTHCARE Prizes, with awards received as recently as 2008 (Professors With an internationally recognized Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and healthcare system, groundbreaking Luc Montagnier: discovery of the research facilities and high-quality retrovirus responsible for causing infrastructures, France welcomes AIDS) and 2011 (Professor Jules many patients from around the Hoffmann: research on innate globe. immunity).

  • The French Health Care System: a Brief Overview
    The French Health Care System: A brief overview. Presentation prepared for the PWG meeting1 Agnès Couffinhal, CREDES2 Health Insurance and access to care To best understand how the French health care system works, I think it is best to begin with a look at the French health insurance system. First of all, all legal residents of France are covered by public health insurance, which is one of the social security system's entitlement programs. The public health insurance program was set up in 1945 and coverage was gradually expanded over the years to all legal residents: indeed, until January 2000, a small part of the population was still denied access to the public health insurance. The funding and benefits of the French public health insurance system (PHIS), much like Germany's, were originally based on professional activity. The main fund covers 80% of the population. Two other funds cover the self-employed and agricultural workers. Once varying depending on the fund, disparate reimbursement rates were replaced by uniform rates. The funds are financed by employer and employee contributions, as well as personal income taxes. The latter's share of the financing has been ever-increasing in order to: · compensate for the relative decrease of wage income, · limit price distortions on the labor market, · and more fairly distribute the system's financing among citizens. Most health insurance funds are private entities which are jointly managed by employers' federations and union federations, under the State's supervision. The joint labor/management handling has always sown discord within the funds' boards, as well as between the boards and the State.

Healthcare for Undocumented Workers in France and the United States. The purpose of this thesis is to explore healthcare for undocumented immigrants in France and the US in light of immigration policy, labor needs, and social values. While both countries have historically relied and continue to rely on undocumented labor, they treat irregular migrants differently when it comes to healthcare. While many hospitals in the US deport undocumented patients in a practice termed medical repatriation, the French government has legislated an illness clause that gives residency permits to severely sick sans-papiers who need medical care. To explore the reasoning behind these extremely contrasting treatments, the thesis studies the social values that underlie the healthcare systems in both countries.

For sale by the U.S. Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop: SSOP, Washington, DC 20402-9328 ISBN 0-16 -045487-5 Foreword n 1980, when OTA examined the management of health care technology in 10 countries, we stated that “international literature in the area of eval- uating and managing medical technologies is sparse. ” The richness and variety of experiences in 1994, captured for eight countries in this back- Iground paper, is evidence that major changes have occurred. Technology as- sessment in health care was just emerging in the United States at the earlier date, and in other countries it was largely a new concept whose role had not yet been defined. Today, it would take a volume bigger than this one to fully de- scribe technology assessment just in the United States. In each of the other countries studied—Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom—technology assessment organizations also have become part of the health care landscape. It is easy to catalog health care technology assessment organizations and their work in each country but difficult to discern how the adoption and use of technology has been affected by those efforts. In this background paper the ex- periences of each country with six technologies (or sets of technologies)—in- including evaluation and management efforts and how the technologies dif- fused—are presented and compared.
