Centre Hospitalier de la Polynésie française

What Centre Hospitalier de la Polynésie française does

Centre Hospitalier de la Polynésie française (CHPF) is the public referral hospital of French Polynesia, headquartered in Pirae on the island of Tahiti. It operates as a government administrative establishment, funded principally by the Government of French Polynesia with co-financing from the French State, and serves the territory's roughly 280,000 residents dispersed across five archipelagos. It is the only facility in the territory offering a full tertiary-care package, including emergency medicine, surgery, radiotherapy, oncology, organ transplantation (notably renal transplants), nephrology and dialysis, maternity, and mental-health services such as the ESPER early-psychosis program.

Its clinical platform is built around specialized, capital-intensive units: two linear particle accelerators for radiotherapy, organ-transplant surgical capability, and a network of peripheral emergency points including the Taravao blood depot. The hospital runs a BioServeur clinical-data environment and a Matomo-based web and telemedicine infrastructure that connects remote islands to specialist teams. Advanced equipment investments between 2024 and 2026 — including the second particle accelerator inaugurated in August 2025 and the 2026 PPP with Polyclinique Paofai for anti-cancer drug preparation — point to continued capacity build-out.

CHPF's "business model" is that of a public administrative entity rather than a commercial enterprise: it is funded through government appropriations, social-security reimbursements, and inter-governmental transfers, and it holds a statutory mandate to provide universal access to secondary and tertiary care. It employs roughly 439 staff and operates under the oversight of the French Polynesian government, with current direction under Hani TERIIPAIA OTT, who succeeded Claude PANERO.

Product overview

The Centre Hospitalier de la Polynésie française (CHPF) is a public hospital located in Pirae, Tahiti, operating as the main tertiary healthcare facility for French Polynesia. The hospital offers a broad portfolio of clinical services organized around major poles: emergency care (SAMU), oncology and radiotherapy (with two particle accelerators as of 2025), nephrology and kidney transplantation, maternity and pediatrics (pôle mère-enfant), psychiatry including the specialized ESPER early psychosis team, blood transfusion (CTS), organ donation coordination, laboratory services with online results (BioServeur), and vaccination. The hospital also operates inter-island telemedicine networks (Réseau inter-îles) and provides hotel accommodation (Hospitel) for families. Digital services include online appointment booking, laboratory result portals, and online bill payment via the OSB portal. Specialized victim support structures (Tuiau Tama for minors and Tuiau A Hine for women) address gender-based violence. The CHPF is governed by the Direction du système d'information et de la relation numérique (DSN) for its digital infrastructure.

Direct peers

• Polyclinique Paofai: Private clinic located in Papeete, Tahiti, operating in the same Tahitian healthcare market as CHPF. Now a public-private partner via the 2026 anticancer-drug convention, but historically a direct competitor for surgical and specialty care on the territory.
• Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Martinique: University hospital center for Martinique, another French overseas territory. Comparable in operating as a public, multi-specialty referral hospital for a dispersed Caribbean population under the same French public-health framework as CHPF.
• Hôpital de Raiatea: Secondary public hospital within French Polynesia serving the Leeward Islands, operating under CHPF's territorial coordination. Comparable as part of the same public-hospital network delivering care across dispersed Polynesian islands.
• Centre Hospitalier de Nouvelle-Calédonie (CHT Nouméa): Main public hospital for New Caledonia, another French Pacific territory with a similarly isolated geography and dispersed island population. Closest functional analogue to CHPF in terms of scale, remit and territorial role.
• Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Guadeloupe: University hospital center for Guadeloupe, a French overseas territory. Comparable as a public acute-care hospital providing tertiary services (including oncology and surgery) to an island population under French health-system governance.
• Centre Hospitalier de Mayotte: Public hospital serving the French overseas department of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean. Comparable as a government-run tertiary facility for a remote, geographically constrained French territory with high inbound medical-evacuation needs.
• Centre Hospitalier de Saint-Pierre et Miquelon: Public hospital serving the small French overseas collectivity of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. Comparable as a small-scale public hospital providing general care to a remote, low-population French territory with similar evacuation-to-mainland constraints.

Broad incumbents

• Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP): Largest public hospital system in France and Europe, encompassing 39 hospitals in the Paris region. Comparable as the apex of the French public-hospital model under State oversight; relevant for benchmarking governance, financing and accreditation norms but vastly larger and metropolitan in catchment.
• CHU de Bordeaux: Major French university hospital and CHPF's academic partner since 2018. Comparable as a public, multi-specialty French teaching hospital; much larger scale, providing the clinical-training and research backbone for CHPF's specialists.
• Hospices Civils de Lyon: One of France's largest public hospital systems, operating across multiple sites in the Lyon region. Comparable as a French public-hospital network under joint State-regional oversight, though operating at metropolitan scale rather than a remote-territory catchment.
