The city of Calais is located at the crossroads of two major highways (A16 and A26) and the gateway to the continent. With its proximity to the port and the Channel Tunnel, nearly 35 million people pass through Calais. Calais has a socio-cultural infrastructure of the highest quality which includes a national theatre and the International City of Lace & Fashion museum. The aim of the Centre Hospitalier de Calais is to open its doors to a wider public audience both to residents of the Calais region and also for its European neighbours to benefit from its excellent hospital care. To achieve this goal, the site of Virval located south east of Calais, was chosen because it offers easy access from the city centre and the ring road surrounding the city. It also brings together the facilities available by consolidating resources, thus creating a unique centre of health including a nursing home, back-up services for patients returning home, the Psychiatric Clinic Virval as well as a laundry.

“Ideal residential conditions”

Centre Hospitalier de Calais has integrated its services within its new premises in a large park. This modern Hospital has 502 beds and has been specifically designed for easy access for patients and visitors. There is a direct slip road from the highway, parking for 350 cars, and the entrance leads to an aesthetically relaxing lobby with large modern spacious hallways and a cafeteria. In terms of comfort, the new hospital has mostly private rooms, with en suite bathrooms, all attractively decorated to a high standard of comfort.
