Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. (new slots);

Saturday afternoons, Sundays and public holidays;

at the on-call medical center at the Bugey Sud Hospital Center.

This reception is only open to patients who have been referred by the SAMU. No reception will take place directly on site.

As a reminder, for any need for unscheduled care in the evening and on weekends and in the absence of the possibility of seeing your attending physician, dial 15.

An experiment lasting three months
