## TL;DR

New Caledonia's social security fund. It runs the unified health insurance scheme, which pays all the cost of treatment for cancer and other long-term illnesses, apart from a small charge on doctor visits.

## Summary

The CAFAT runs the Régime Unifié d'Assurance Maladie et Maternité (RUAMM), the health insurance of New Caledonia, covering employees, the self-employed, civil servants, students, retired people and their families, with cover for illness and surgery, long-term illness, maternity, invalidity and death, and for care received outside New Caledonia. Its long-term illness insurance covers 32 conditions set by regulation, including cancers, at 100% for related care and treatment, paid directly to the professional, with a 10% patient charge on medical consultations; insured workers on medically justified sick leave receive a monthly allowance for up to 3 years. It is listed among the contributors to the DASS's cancer data. The coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for a CAFAT office on the Rue du Général Mangin in Nouméa, and are approximate.
