The Orleans Regional Hospital Center (CHRO) aims to become a university. He does not really take the path. After having introduced a limitation of access for its adult emergency department (SAU), which should nevertheless be able to accommodate, twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year and without selection, anyone who goes there present, the CHRO does it again with her maternity.
