ResumeBecause of the insufficiency of technical tray in Benin hospitals, medical practitioners have recourse to medical evacuation abroad for better taking care of patients. This study presents statistics of medical evacuations made outside Benin, for scintigraphy and radiotherapy, funded by the government from January 2006 to December 2010. For a total of 769 patients from 2- to 80-years-old, 229 patients (29.8%) were concerned by these two indications. Urology, cardiology, and gynecology were the most important specialties, which provide medical evacuations in 24%, 23.6% and 13.15% of cases respectively. The pathologies involved were essentially malignant tumors in 66.8% of cases and heart diseases in 16.2% of cases. The strengthening of medical instrument and staff through nuclear medicine and radiotherapy center should contribute to improve the performance of Benin sanitary system and to reduce the medical evacuations abroad.
