Aware that a hospital is not only a place for care but also a place for life, the University Hospital (CHU) has developed a cultural policy that allows patients to engage in alternative activities during their stay.
Exhibitions, concerts, and other events are organized throughout the year across the CHU sites. These initiatives bring culture into the hospital for the benefit of hospitalized patients, outpatients, and visitors.
Tobacco and vaping
In accordance with the law, smoking is strictly prohibited within the facility (including common areas and patient rooms), including the use of electronic cigarettes.
The University Hospital is a member of the “Tobacco-Free Hospital” network. Smoking cessation consultations are available to the public, and tobacco addiction specialist nurses can support you during your hospital stay.
