  • Title: Child health care policy and delivery in France.
    Author: Manciaux M, Jestin C, Fritz M, Bertrand D.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1990 Dec; 86(6 Pt 2):1037-43. PubMed ID: 2243735.
    Abstract:
    Medical and social protection of mothers, infants, and children began in France more than a century ago. A number of laws and regulations have improved the system, which is discussed in detail. The discussion includes an overview of health policy, service delivery, and the financing of care. Is the current French system of Maternal and Child Health responsible for the good health of today's children? This question is addressed through selected examples. Finally, failures and short-comings of the system are described, including the persistence of underserved groups, unequal access to care, and other problems. Solutions are feasible, and some are now being implemented.
