Country-Specific Service: France DMOS and Transparency Compliance

Country-Specific Service: France DMOS and Transparency Compliance

The DMOS is a French law that prohibits gift giving by health-care companies to health-care professionals. The law was issued on January 27, 1993, and it has had numerous updates. Related laws, such as the Bertrand Law of 2011, have also been introduced to further consolidate the DMOS. Specifically, the DMOS antigift law, which established the principle that health-care professionals are not permitted to receive benefits from companies that manufacture or market health products that are reimbursed under the French social security system. The law aims to eradicate corruption in the health-care sector on the parts of health-care professionals as well as business professionals working in the field of health care.

Ordinance n° 2017-49 of January 19, 2017, ratified and amended by the Law n° 2019-774 of July 24, 2019, known as Ma santé 2022 (My Health 2022, has strengthened France’s antigift regulations. On October 1, 2020, Law n° 2019-774 came into force and is applicable to all stakeholders in the health-care industry.
