Financing and Territorialisation of French Health Care Institutions : an Asymmetrical Relationship

In France, over the past thirty years, the question of the relationship between health care institutions and their territories has become essential in most of the health reforms initiated. Moreover, the financing terms of these institutions hold such a central place in the health organization that it seems important to question their effects on the territorialization of these institutions. This is the main questioning of this work based on a cross-reading of the contents of the reforms of the financing of these institutions with a longitudinal study of the main national statistics on their financial situation and care provision in the territories.
