The Lille and Toulouse University hospitals remain at the top of the 2013 ranking of the 50 best French public hospitals.
2013 will be no exception, the Lille University Hospital (1er) and Toulouse (2nd) dominate the 2013 Hospital Awards published this Thursday, August 22 Point. Moreover, for several years, university hospitals have been at the top of this annual ranking of French hospitals and clinics studied for the quality of 63 medical and surgical specialties. And as proof, at the 3th place follows Bordeaux University Hospital, Strasbourg university hospitals arrive 4th), Nantes University Hospital (5th), and that of Montpellier finishes at the 6th square. In total, 28 regional and university hospitals are included in this list of the 50 best.
On the side of clinics
This ranking also looked at private clinics taking into account 37 specialties. At the 1time place we find as the previous year, the private hospital Saint Grégoire (Ile et Vilaine), follows at 2th places the private hospital Jean Mermoz (Lyon) and the New Nantes clinics. The Atlantic polyclinic, in Saint-Herblain (44), is 8th; the Océane clinic, in Vannes, 27th; and the Saint-Brieuc private hospital, 50th. This classification, like the one established in the public sector, covers a wide range of treatments (viral hepatitis, diabetes, rheumatology, prostate cancer, hernias, surgery for obesity, eye, foot, etc.). In the novelties we note the appearance this year of hearing surgery.
French excellence that attracts foreigners
In his file, Point also reveals that “60,161 stays in French hospitals are by non-resident foreigners”. More than half of them come from the European Union and the vast majority carry out their care in the public sector. In total, 186 different nationalities benefit from care in France.
One in two doctors is a woman
Another interesting information revealed by the weekly, women now occupy nearly half (46%) of the positions of public hospital practitioners, or even more for example at the Public Assistance of Paris Hospitals (AH-HP) where women represent nearly 55% of these staff, including interns. And even in surgery, which used to be an almost exclusively male specialty, in 2013 women represented a quarter of surgeons, even if certain types of surgery are still largely dominated by men, such as cardiac surgery. Finally, parity is unfortunately still not established in the highest hierarchical positions (head of department, professors, etc.).
