What Le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de La Réunion does

Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de La Réunion is a French public university hospital established in February 2012 through the merger of Centre Hospitalier Félix Guyon (Saint-Denis) and Groupe Hospitalier Sud Réunion (Saint-Pierre). It operates across six sites in Réunion Island — Saint-Denis (Félix Guyon, regional headquarters), Saint-Pierre (southern headquarters), Saint-Joseph, Le Tampon, Saint-Louis, and Cilaos — with 1,883 beds and 8,000+ professionals across 150 medical professions. The hospital ranks 11th nationally among France's 33 CHRU facilities by activity volume and delivers comprehensive tertiary and quaternary care including emergency medicine, anesthesia and intensive care, cardiac and vascular surgery, neurosurgery, transplant services, nuclear medicine (PET, radiotherapy, brachytherapy), Level III maternity, neonatal and pediatric intensive care, oncology, and rare disease referral.

The institution fulfills four statutory missions: healthcare and prevention, teaching, research and innovation, and regional and international cooperation. Advanced clinical technology includes the Da Vinci surgical robot, O-Arm intraoperative 3D imaging system, PET scan and brachytherapy units, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and a P3 biosafety laboratory. Infrastructure modernization is underway through a €400 million multi-year investment program covering the Critical Care Building at St-Denis (€70M), Saint-Pierre central building extension and restructuring (€109M), new healthcare facility at Le Tampon (€13.5M), and PEGASE IT modernization.

Revenue flows from the French national health insurance system (Sécurité Sociale) via T2A activity-based pricing, operational and capital funding from the Agence Régionale de Santé Océan Indien (ARS OI), and European FEDER-INTERREG grants for regional cooperation. The hospital also delivers specialized tertiary care and surgical missions for neighboring Indian Ocean populations (Madagascar, Mauritius, Comoros, Seychelles) through formal cooperation agreements supported by La Chaîne de l'Espoir and Médecins du Monde. Quality credentials include Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) certification (2017, with 2018 follow-up) and IHAB (Initiative Hôpital Ami du Bébé) labeling for the maternity ward.
