Réseau de Périnatalité Occitanie

What Réseau de Périnatalité Occitanie does

Réseau de Périnatalité Occitanie (RPO) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) that coordinates perinatal care across the 13 departments of the Occitanie region, headquartered in Toulouse with a secondary regional site in Montpellier. Its core mission is to federate and support healthcare establishments with maternity units, perinatal professionals (midwives, obstetricians, pediatricians, neonatologists, anesthesiologists, nurses), medico-social institutions (CAMSP, CMPP, PMI), URPS bodies, and user associations through standardized protocols, training, and care-pathway coordination. The organization also serves pregnant women, couples, families, and vulnerable children through public-facing resources and the dedicated COCON follow-up program.

The RPO's product surface is anchored by the Espace Professionnel, a secure web portal that provides member professionals with access to training catalogs, clinical protocols, accreditation management, and an interactive maternity map used for referral and transfer coordination. Additional core modules include IVG (abortion) care coordination with seasonal availability guides, newborn hearing screening coordination, Trisomy 21 screening approval management, perinatal transfer coordination, and the COCON vulnerable-child follow-up program. Supporting assets include a training catalog with workshops, a webinar series on emerging professional topics (e.g., perinatal violence, breastfeeding), the annual Grande Journée du RPO conference, the SMAM (World Breastfeeding Awareness Week) campaign, and downloadable toolkits. The technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a public website plus an authenticated portal, with CNIL declaration 1176360 governing data protection. The RPO explicitly carries no advertising.

The business model is a public-sector hybrid. Revenue derives from two streams: membership dues paid by health establishments, professionals, medico-social bodies, URPS, and user associations; and public grants from ARS Occitanie (Agence Régionale de Santé) and FIQCS/FACS (Fonds d'Intervention pour la Qualité et la Coordination des Soins). The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on the Grande Journée annual conference, regional working groups, the scientific council, and digital channels (professional portal, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, email newsletter). Leadership comprises President Pr Géraldine Gascoin (head of Neonatology at CHU de Toulouse) and Director Laura Fabre.

Core offering

The Réseau de Périnatalité Occitanie (RPO) is a non-profit association under French law 1901 that coordinates perinatal care networks across the 13 departments of the Occitanie region. It federates health establishments with maternity units, healthcare professionals, medico-social institutions, and user associations to improve care pathways for mothers, newborns, and vulnerable children.

Product overview

Réseau de Périnatalité Occitanie (RPO) is a regional healthcare coordination network (association loi 1901) that operates as an inter-professional platform connecting perinatal health actors across the Occitanie region of France. The organization's core offering is the Espace Professionnel (Professional Space), a secured web portal through which healthcare professionals access training registration, clinical protocols, and coordination tools. Key service modules include the COCON vulnerable child follow-up program, IVG (abortion) care coordination with seasonal availability guides, newborn hearing screening programs, Trisomy 21 screening approval management, and perinatal transfer coordination. The platform also delivers professional development through a training catalog with workshops, online seminars (webinars) on topics like perinatal violence and breastfeeding support, and maintains a downloadable resource toolkit. An interactive maternity map enables referral coordination. The ecosystem functions as an integrated suite where the secure professional portal serves as the central access point for all services, with specialized modules addressing distinct perinatal care pathways from pregnancy through early childhood.
