The Collectif de défense des usagers des hôpitaux (CODEF) has raised concerns regarding the governance and potential reorganization of the Jean Bouveri Hospital in Saint-Vallier. Initial reports indicated that the organization had been alerting regional health authorities, local mayors, and deputies for weeks or months regarding the legality of the hospital’s governance and its naming.
