Regarding the French health system, women, blacks and Muslims have the feeling "to have been treated less well than others" and sometimes even give up some care, according to a study published this Tuesday by INED .
If France appears as the country "in which the entire population should have access to health care", thanks to its "compulsory and universal" health insurance and its state medical aid, certain categories have "significantly discriminatory rates. higher, ”reveals the National Institute for Demographic Studies.
One in six women forgo treatment
Women thus more often than men report a "refusal of service" or "inferior quality of care".
Ditto for overseas and immigrants, especially those from black Africa, North Africa and Turkey, compared to people born in France.
These phenomena "appear to be closely linked" to that of "non-recourse to healthcare": discrimination justifies 32% of these renouncements among sub-Saharan Africans, 26% among Muslims, 22% among North Africans and 13% among overseas people. .
They are also invoked once in six (17%) by women, who "constitute half of the population", which is "significant of the magnitude of this effect at the level of French society", adds INED. .
