The signing ceremony of the Romain Jacob Charter at the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital represents a major milestone in the implementation of its policy to promote the welcoming and care of people with disabilities, whether patients themselves or their caregivers.

The Romain Jacob Charter is a national commitment aimed at improving access to healthcare and the quality of care for people with disabilities.

This initiative is part of the continuation of our commitment to promoting an inclusive and accessible society and to ensuring that everyone can benefit from a personalized care pathway that respects their specific needs.

The ceremony will be followed by a visit to the Handi-Consult dental service, providing a concrete illustration of the actions already implemented to improve accessibility and the quality of care offered at our institution.
