France spends €173,650 million annually on healthcare for its population of 62.2 million people, making it the second largest healthcare market in Europe. It has over 4,500 hospitals across its 22 regions, including 1,313 surgical hospitals. France uses two coding systems to classify surgical procedures - the highly detailed CCAM system and the less detailed GHM system, with CCAM data only available nationally and GHM data available at the hospital level. The CCAM and GHM codes can be mapped and classified as open, minimally invasive, or laparoscopic at both the national and regional levels, creating a large matrix of data. This surgical procedure information is automatically scraped from French statistical sites and stored in databases.
