Question 17211 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Jean-Carles Grelier draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the question of dereimbursement of homeopathy. Indeed, following the column published by 131 members of the academies of medicine, pharmacy and sciences, on December 4, 2018, pleading for delisting, many professionals expressed their serious concerns on this subject. Since then, the High Health Authority (HAS), charged by the ministry of Solidarity and Health to assess the merits of reimbursement for homeopathy, announced that it would deliver its opinion in spring 2019, and not in February 2019 as planned, due in particular to the scale of the evaluation work to be accomplished. It should be remembered that homeopathy is a specificity of medicine and not an alternative. It is undeniably useful for children, pregnant women and is used today daily as supportive care for anticancer treatments (chemotherapy and radiotherapy). Furthermore, 20,000 general practitioners and 78% of midwives regularly prescribe homeopathic medicines, 100% of pharmacies dispense them every day and the saving for social security of a patient followed by a homeopathic doctor is 35%. Its reimbursement is therefore essential so that all patients without exception can benefit from it. He therefore asks him to kindly inform him of the Government's intentions on this subject.
