The French Health Care System

Beginning over 200 years ago, France has built one of the highest performing health systems in the world. In 2000, the World Health Organization ranked health systems according to five performance indicators:

overall level of population health;
health inequalities within the population;
overall level of health system responsiveness;
distribution of responsiveness within the population (how people of varying economic status find that they are served by the health system);
and the distribution of the health system's financial burden within the population.

The French health system was ranked number one in the world. This system is characterized by the strong position of the hospital and has the particularity of dividing hospital management between the public sector and the non-profit or commercial private sector, the majority of hospital funding coming directly from the public sector.

This system rests on very high-level human resources. Healthcare managers, and in particular public hospital directors, go through a demanding and highly competitive national selection process, after which they are trained in a single school, the "Ecole Nationale de Santé Publique". Caregivers are trained in independent schools, which are present in every city in France and follow a standardized national curriculum. After a competitive selection process, French physicians are trained in twenty-two medical schools, the oldest of which was established in Montpellier, a city in southeastern France, in 1289. They are exceptionally highly qualified. The Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to 12 French doctors since its creation in 1901.

In 2008, French Professors Françoise BARRE-SINOUSSI and Luc MONTAGNIER were awarded this Nobel Prize for discovering the AIDS virus. This level of excellence is maintained and regularly improved in French hospitals, which welcome medical students from all over the world who are drawn both by the scientific level and the humanist approach to healthcare in France.
