    Abstract:
    In France, the health and solidarity department of Employment and solidarity Ministry have just been re-organised. The Directory General of the department of Health is experiencing a complete revision of its functions and organisation. This article presents the public health context which has been taken into account for this new organisation and explains its main principles and strategic orientations. The new organisation chart is clarified. It is made up by two departments and seven under-directions. Up to now, control and administrative supervision were predominant among Health General Direction functions. They are now oriented to administrate missions prioritizing the function of health doctrines' elaboration, of programmation, animation and coordination. As the guarantor of sanitary security, the Health General Direction has also to impulse a new partnership which does not only include health professional, social and health organisation and the economic actors: citizen in general and service users in particular have to be included to promote health democracy.
