HEALTH According to the Do Kamo Plan, New Caledonia's 2018-2028 healthcare plan, which aims to reform the healthcare system and strengthen prevention, healthcare expenditure represents 23% of New Caledonia's GDP and more than 3,000 healthcare professionals. Healthcare expenditure increases by about 3% each year and amounts to more than 400 KF.XPF/year/inhabitant (€3.3 K). New Caledonia has recent, modern healthcare infrastructure, a wide range of medical and hospital services and highly-skilled healthcare professionals (both public and private). The Médipôle in Dumbea, with its world-class health facilities and advanced treatment techniques, and the Kuindo Magnin Clinic in Nouville, are concrete examples of progress in healthcare for the territory. However, healthcare provision remains limited in some communes. The autonomous social protection system provides full access to healthcare for all. The management of the basic scheme (Régime Unifié d'Assurance Maladie-Maternité - RUAMM) is entrusted to the Caisse de Compensation des prestations Familiales, des Accidents du Travail et de Prévoyance des Travailleurs de Nouvelle-Calédonie (CAFAT). Supplementary health insurance schemes can supplement members' health cover by providing a high level of cover.
