A Hospital Group strategy dedicated to Parisians’ mental health today and tomorrow
On the first of January 2019, Sainte-Anne, Maison Blanche and Perray-Vaucluse hospitals have merged into the University Hospital Group – Paris (Psychiatry & neurosciences), “GHU Paris” in french.
These 3 hospitals have been working closely together over the past years, defining a common medical strategy, designing a territorial framework of care for the capital and establishing a joint leadership. The creation of a new institution concludes a wellmatured cooperation, aiming at becoming the first care player in Paris for mental and brain diseases.
The “GHU Paris” will employ 5,600 healthcare professionals, including 600 doctors, with a 380 M€ budget. Its creation has been ratified by the Regional Healthcare Agency (ARS) and was supported by Paris’ City Council.
Overall, 60,000 Parisians seek assistance from the GHU Paris. The historical intricacy of psychiatric and neurosciences specialties, within the same hospital, is an important asset of this new GHU, thanks to Sainte-Anne legacy.
With 9 university departments, GHU Paris will foster three overlapping activities (clinical practice, education and research) which constitute the basis for innovative practices.
