21 departments in France are not equipped with a palliative care center. Currently, two thirds of French people do not have access to this care.
In France, 7,500 beds are dedicated to caring for people at the end of their lives. This represents 2.8 beds per 100,000 inhabitants. At least 5 beds per100,000 would be needed to meet needs. The Ardennes, the Pyrénées-Orientales, or even Corrèze: all these departments don't have a palledative care unit.
