In 2020, nearly a third of public hospitals in France were overly indebted. Moreover, excessive debt within the French public hospital sector has increased since 2015. In 2018, a record 38 percent of public hospitals in France were excessively indebted. Excessive debt refers to the hospital's financial independence and the length and extent of its debt.

Excessive debt refers to three criteria, as defined in article D.6145-70 of the Public Health Code: a financial independence ratio, reporting the outstanding debt term to permanent capital, which exceeds 50%; an apparent duration of the debt that exceeds ten years; an exceptional debt relative to the institution's revenue, all activities combined, greater than 30%. The combination of at least two criteria defines a situation of over-indebtedness.
