CHOR

What CHOR does

Centre Hospitalier Ouest Réunion (CHOR) is a French public hospital establishment (établissement public de santé) that opened in March 2019 in Saint-Paul, Réunion Island, serving approximately 230,000 inhabitants across the western territory (Saint-Leu to La Possession), which represents roughly one-quarter of the island's total population. CHOR operates as the designated territory pivot hospital, providing 24/7 emergency services (58,750 visits in 2024, up 9% since 2019), comprehensive inpatient hospitalization (112,441 hospitalization days in 2024, up 30% since 2019), outpatient consultations across all major specialties, and a modern technical plateau including diagnostic imaging, laboratory, mammography, and specialized medical equipment. The hospital houses a 37-bed IHAB-certified maternity unit delivering 1,906 births in 2024, a 60-bed EHPAD nursing home (Gabriel Martin) for elderly care, an integrated viral hepatitis expert center coordinating across the Indian Ocean zone, and public health prevention programs covering cancer screening, vaccination, sexual health (CEGIDD), and addiction care.

CHOR's revenue is generated under the French T2A (tarification à l'activité) DRG-based fee-for-service system, supplemented by EHPAD per-resident daily rates set by the Réunion Département Council and ARS-funded public health prevention contracts. The 2024 Budget Principal stands at €190 million. The hospital shares a Direction Commune (unified executive leadership) with the Établissement Public de Santé Mentale de la Réunion (EPSMR) since October 2015, enabling integrated mental and physical health services. CHOR is currently investing in the €50 million CHOR2030 expansion project to grow from 310 to 414 beds and places by 2030, and launched a mobile application in January 2025 and the Centre de Ressources Payanké mental health training facility in April 2025 to extend its digital and educational footprint.

Revenue model

1. Hospital Care Revenue (T2A): As a French public hospital (établissement public de santé), CHOR operates under the T2A (tarification à l'activité) fee-for-service system. Revenue is generated through diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) for inpatient stays, outpatient consultations, emergency services, maternity services, and EHPAD (nursing home) care. The hospital's main budget for 2024 was €190,000,000. Additional revenue streams include medical procedures, diagnostic services (laboratory, radiology, mammography), and day hospital (hôpital de jour) services for specialized care such as diabetes management and hepatitis treatment.
2. EHPAD (Nursing Home) Care: The EHPAD Gabriel Martin generates revenue through per-resident daily rates for accommodation, care, and dependency levels, set annually by the Department Council. Rates vary by age and dependency level of the resident. Additional services (laboratory, radiology, podiatry, physiotherapy) are billed through the standard French healthcare system.
3. Public Health Programs and Preventive Services: Revenue from public health prevention programs including the Centre d'Education et de Prévention Santé (CEPS), vaccination center, cancer screening campaigns (colorectal, breast, cervical), tobacco cessation, sexual health (CEGIDD), and addiction care. Funded through regional health agency (ARS) contracts and public health prevention budgets.
