Profile narrative

The Centre Hospitalier de la Polynésie française, also known by its acronym CHPF, is a public hospital situated in French Polynesia. It provides medical care while also handling technical and administrative functions essential for its operation. As a Centre Hospitalier, it operates within the French public health framework and offers clinical services to patients. The organisation’s core activities centre on delivering health services, maintaining infrastructure, and supporting administrative processes.

On 10 February 2025, the CHPF was targeted by a cyberattack that triggered a security alert after numerous external connection attempts were detected. In response, the hospital immediately activated its protection protocols and disconnected its information system from the internet to neutralise the ongoing offensive actions. Despite this precautionary isolation, the institution reported that medical, technical, and administrative data remained intact and accessible. Software continued to function normally and patient care was not degraded during the incident. External communications were temporarily limited while the hospital assessed the situation and worked to restore full connectivity. The CHPF committed to restoring communication capacity as quickly as possible while continuing to safeguard its sensitive data.
