France Population Health Management Market Outlook

france has an ageing population, with one in five citizens estimated to be aged over 65 years as of 2018 and predicted to double by 2060. this means that there is an ever-increasing demand on the population's health, and health management services must be able to keep up. the french government has been pro-active in addressing this with the introduction of the ‘national free health coverage’ system covering all citizens, regardless of their socioeconomic and geographic location, as of january 1, 2018. this system expands access to healthcare providers and has resulted in a reduction in financial barriers to getting the care they need. furthermore, france has a number of population health management initiatives in place designed to improve health outcomes and reduce unnecessary costs. this includes the development of an interdisciplinary primary care network which involves teams of nurses, general practitioners, pharmacists and social workers. this results in a more coordinated approach to healthcare delivery, with each team member playing an important role in patient’s health and wellbeing. in addition, france has implemented the universal health insurance (uhi) scheme which ensures that all citizens have access to preventative health services without the need for out-of-pocket expenses. this includes subsidised medical care, medications, immunisations and family planning services. this system allows citizens to receive the healthcare they need quickly and easily, and without the risk of running up prohibitive medical bills. the french government has also been engaging in population health management initiatives designed to better support citizens with chronic conditions. this includes the implementation of disease management programs which provide patients with long-term care and support, and the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits through education and awareness campaigns. overall, these initiatives demonstrate the french government’s commitment to providing quality population health management services, and are set to ensure that citizens can access the care they need for years to come.
