SUMMARY

After profoundly modifying its political and institutional organisation about 15 years ago, New Caledonia is now going to have to face new evolutions in the years to come, evolutions which will have an impact on the regulations applicable in the field of healthcare, which are currently somewhat disorganised. Although it is sometimes rather difficult to find the version of the text that is applicable in New Caledonia, some specificities are not without interest.

Keywords: New Caledonia, institutions, health regulations, indemnification of medical accidents, competence of healthcare professionals.
