---|---|
Middle Ages | Southern France is one of the leading medical centers in Europe. The University of Montpellier is founded and becomes prominent.[1] |
1770s–1850s | Paris becomes a world center of medical research and teaching. The "Paris School" emphasizes that teaching and research should be based in large hospitals and promotes the professionalization of the medical profession and the emphasis on sanitation and public health.[2] |
1871–1914 | The French Third Republic follows behind Bismarckian Germany, as well as Great Britain, in developing the welfare state including public health, accident and old-age insurance.[3] |
1928–2000 | From its foundation, the French national health insurance progresses in incremental stages, with big extensions in 1945, 1961, 1966, 1978, and finally in 2000, achieving universal coverage.[4] |
