French Public Health Code
In forceThe regional health project consists of :
1° A strategic orientation framework, which sets out general objectives and expected results over a ten-year period;
2° A regional health plan, drawn up for five years on the basis of an assessment of health, social and medico-social needs and which determines, for the whole range of care and health services, including prevention, health promotion and medico-social support, forecasts of developments and operational objectives.
This regional health plan includes a programme relating to the prevention of sexual violence and access to care for victims of such violence.
These objectives focus in particular on reducing social and territorial inequalities in healthcare, improving access to prevention and care for the most disadvantaged, improving the coordination, quality, safety, continuity and relevance of healthcare and medico-social care, and organising healthcare pathways, particularly for people with chronic illnesses, disabilities or loss of autonomy. They also aim to organise the preparation of the healthcare system for exceptional health situations as part of the "ORSAN" system for organising the response of the healthcare system in the event of an exceptional health situation, as referred to in article L. 3131-11.
They may be implemented by the territorial health contracts defined in article L. 1434-12, by the territorial mental health contracts defined in article L. 3221-2 or by the local health contracts defined in article L. 1434-10;
3° A regional programme relating to access to prevention and care for the most disadvantaged people.
In border territories and the local authorities referred to in Article 72-3 of the Constitution in which this section is applicable, the regional health project shall organise, where an international framework agreement so permits, cooperation in health and medico-social matters with the authorities of the neighbouring country.
