Medicine

In France, everyone is entitled to choose their own doctor. National Health doctors are registered with the social security. Their fees are fixed in relation to the National Health refunding scale (20 € for a general practitioner). The fees of non-National Health doctors are much more expensive. General practitioners have set days for visits and appointment times. They will mainly see patients by appointments.

Doctors on call

A list of doctors on call throughout the night, on Sundays and public holidays is available from pharmacies, police stations and the regional daily press.

Pharmacies

To purchase most medicine, you must have a doctor's prescription to show to the pharmacist. Pharmacies are open from 9am to 7pm and are closed on Sundays, Monday mornings and public holidays.

24-hour pharmacies

Some pharmacies are open all night. Opening hours are displayed on the door. To obtain medicine during the night, you must let the local police station know in advance.

The Regional and University Hospital, or "CHRU"

France has an excellent reputation for its healthcare and treatment system, and if you have an accident or your state of health requires you to be hospitalised, the CHRU (State-run hospital) can offer you all the benefits of a highly skilled staff and modern equipment. As a leading centre, its role is to treat patients who need the help of highly specialised medical teams. The CHRU is a centre for the treatment of complex pathologies that require a high level of technology, and works hand in hand with other health partners throughout the region.
