Question 23957 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Benoit Simian draws the attention of the Minister for Overseas Territories to the lack of resources allocated by the State for health interventions in certain areas of French territory. The first week of October 2019, a three-month-old baby affected by a lung infection died during his very difficult medical evacuation from the Marquesas archipelago. The evacuation was carried out under very specific conditions: in the absence of air resources, it was a speedboat which made it possible to transfer the child from Ua Pou to Nuku Hiva, where an Air Archipels plane was to take him in charge. The child unfortunately died upon arrival in Nuku Hiva. This tragedy raises the question of the State's lack of resources in certain remote areas of the territory, while treatment by helicopter would perhaps have made it possible to avoid such a tragedy. Also, he questions him to find out what actions the State intends to implement to strengthen the means of intervention in these remote territories and to prevent this type of tragedy from happening again in the future.
