Respect for the dignity of human beings, refusing discrimination between people, enabling access to information and training – these are principles that the Fondation de France focuses on in its programs in the area of health.

For several years, assistance to the sick and their families together with medical research have been the subject of a number of studies and projects.

Today, the Fondation de France keeps working to promote equal access to care for all, to prevent disease or cure it, and to improve the daily lives of sick people or accompany them in dignity to their death.

On these difficult questions, which concern every citizen, the initiatives supported by the Fondation de France have to take into account the diversity of viewpoints – the needs of patients and their families and also the requirements of professionals and voluntary groups.
