This book was produced under the guidance of the Institute of Directors of University Hospitals, which has carried out highly detailed research at the 31 French university and regional hospitals, covering about 400 different criteria. This information has been grouped under six main headings: activities, budget data, financial flows, employment, training and research.
In the space of a few years, health has become one of the chief concerns in French society, and the amount of money spent on it has increased considerably.
Because of the size of their budgets and the complex way they are organized, university hospitals often come under attack.
Yet the 31 French university hospitals treat about 10 million people every year, that is, one in every six French people. As centres for health research, they also provide a guarantee of social cohesiveness.
The aim of this book is to evaluate the importance of university hospitals according to various criteria: research, teaching, efficiency, treatment of rare diseases, as well as their efforts to control their budgets.
The investigation conducted by the Institute highlights the contribution French university hospitals make to the international influence of French medicine. This is essential reading for all those interested in health.
