Article L731-4 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

The administrative authority may place foreign nationals subject to an unenforced expulsion order under house arrest if their state of health requires medical care, the lack of which could have exceptionally serious consequences for them, and if, in view of the healthcare available and the characteristics of the healthcare system in the country of return, they would not be able to receive appropriate treatment there.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L731-4


L’autorité administrative peut assigner à résidence l’étranger faisant l’objet d’une décision d’expulsion non exécutée lorsque son état de santé nécessite une prise en charge médicale dont le défaut pourrait avoir pour lui des conséquences d’une exceptionnelle gravité et si, eu égard à l’offre de soins et aux caractéristiques du système de santé du pays de renvoi, il ne pourrait pas y bénéficier effectivement d’un traitement approprié.
