What FHP-MCO does

FHP-MCO (Fédération de l'Hospitalisation Privée : Médecine, Chirurgie, Obstétrique) is a French national employers' syndicate (syndicat patronal) representing 540 private clinics and hospitals that participate in France's public health service missions. Founded in 2002 and headquartered at 106 rue d'Amsterdam in Paris, it is the Medicine, Surgery, and Obstetrics branch of the parent FHP federation. The organization is led by Présidente Frédérique Gama (elected December 2020) and Délégué Général Thierry Béchu, supported by a small permanent team with legal, economic, statistical, and medical expertise.

The federation's operating model is membership-based. It generates revenue through recurring membership dues from its 540 affiliated establishments and, in return, delivers advocacy with national regulators (tutelles) and regional health agencies (ARS), technical guidance on legislation and financing, public health campaigns, and recurring events and publications. Core member-facing products include the Dialogue Santé newsletter, Data statistical publications (e.g., Data n°10 — Cancérologie), 5 minutes pour comprendre topical briefs, the Rapport annuel, over 100 expert dispatches (Dépêches) per year, and the Vademecum des autorisations de santé (an online health authorization resource). It also operates member-only infrastructure such as a job portal (emplois.fhpmco.fr), a DIM-physician discussion forum (discussions.fhpmco.fr), and thematic campaigns including Mars Bleu, Octobre Rose, and Fil Vert.

FHP-MCO does not develop or sell software, and its underlying technology footprint is limited to its website (fhpmco.fr), publications, and member portals. The go-to-market is relationship-led, with advocacy and information services delivered directly to member establishments and reinforced through specialist working groups (Club Pharmacie, Club des Médecins DIM) and annual events (Journées des métiers, Congrès des Représentants des Usagers). Members operate across France, jointly accounting for 53,652 beds and places, 119 emergency departments, 7.08 million patient stays, and 34,811 physicians per PMSI & SAE 2024 data.
