Abstrakt: Background: The only French center for pediatric oncology and hematology outside of the metropolitan territory is in the Indian Ocean, in Saint Denis, on Reunion Island. It welcomes children from Reunion Island but also from Mayotte and neighboring countries. A quarter of them requires a secondary medical transfer to metropolitan France for specific technic care.
Method: We conducted a retrospective single-center study of all pediatric medical evacuations that occurred between 2015 and 2019 from the pediatric oncology and hematology department of Reunion Island. The purpose of this study is to describe these transfers and the consequences of these care pathways for families and care teams.
Results: A total of 189 transfers took place for 105 children: 66 from Reunion Island, 17 from Mayotte and 22 were foreigners. In total, 92 % of the children received the medical care for which they were transferred to metropolitan France. Difficulties were reported: family for 26 % of them, social in 11 % of cases and medical in 10 % of medical records.
Conclusions: This organization allows children in the Indian Ocean to benefit from similar care than metropolitan children. Many difficulties arise in connection with family and societal breakdowns caused by these transfers. These differences and difficulties are important to know to better accompany patients, families and caregivers in this stage of their medical pathways.
