The College ensures the consistency and coordination of the work of the Haut Conseil de la santé publique, while ensuring compliance with the charter for health expertise referred to in Article L. 1452-2.
In particular, it coordinates the preparation of forward-looking studies on public health issues, the Haut Conseil’s contributions to the preparation, annual monitoring and multi-year assessment of the national health strategy and to the design and assessment of health promotion, prevention and health safety strategies, including their economic dimension in terms of the resources they mobilise and the benefits they are expected to bring for public health, as well as its contributions to the development of a comprehensive and concerted child health policy.
It also coordinates work on identifying the need for information on changes in the population’s state of health, as well as on health inequalities and their determinants.
It also coordinates the work of the relevant specialised commissions, in liaison with the health agencies and the French National Authority for Health, in organising the production of the expertise needed to manage health risks.
