Health prevention policy

Ten years after the first report of the Court of Auditors on health prevention, the evaluation published today reviews prevention through the case of three major families of pathologies — cancers, neurocardiovascular or NCV diseases, and diabetes. By measuring the impact of prevention policies in France, the Court was able to find that the results achieved were generally poor, despite a financial effort comparable to that of neighbouring countries. To help strengthen the effectiveness of these policies, this report presents a series of recommendations based on four directions: the operational declination of this reinforcement, the fight against risk factors, the transformation of professional practices in the field of prevention, and the optimisation of the use of digital technology.
