Abstract
In order to understand well about how the hospital sector in France works, I would like to highlight its main features. This sector is not based on a single plan which was decided at a given time, but was reviewed at many occasions so as to improve its management, its cost-effectiveness and its territorial steering. Indeed, the hospital sector was formally created by the 1941 law which founded the modern public hospital. Since 1941, hospitals were not anymore only a way to rescue the poor and impoverished people, but the hospitals had to support the sick people of all the social classes. In 1958, the Debré reform that I will confront with other reforms, created the CHU (Centres hospitaliers et universitaires) which really revolutionized medical education because it organises hospital as a health care center, an educational center and a research center. We will see in this Hausarbeit, how the constitutional nature of the ordinance is well-used by the governement to implement a law without taking care of the veto opportunities and sometimes the medical preferences.
