Question 30668 — health

Summary

Mr. Buon Tan questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about France's strategic autonomy in the health field. The covid-19 epidemic has highlighted the mismatch between certain needs for medical equipment and the actual availability of these products, making it difficult to manage such health events. These supply tensions concerned protective masks but also other equipment medical, such as gowns and overcoats, protective glasses or even artificial respirators. They revealed France's excessive dependence on foreign supplies, so much so that the construction of real strategic autonomy in health matters today appears essential and seems to be a consensus. In order to build this autonomy, it is above all important to draw up a precise and exhaustive inventory national capacities and the reasons which explain the deficiencies observed during the covid-19 epidemic. Only a detailed knowledge of these elements will subsequently make it possible to make decisions capable of strengthening French sovereignty in the health field. He therefore asks it to publish the list of medical devices considered to be strategic with regard to public health issues and having been the subject of shortages for 10 years, as well as specifying the reasons for these shortages. It also asks it to present the national production capacities of medical devices considered strategic with regard to these public health issues.
