Dinan healthcare

A changing emergency schedule makes referral and overnight planning essential

René Pléven handles adult and pediatric medical and trauma emergencies and psychiatric emergencies, with links to Saint-Malo and regional or CHU Rennes services. Gynecological and obstetric emergencies are directed to Saint-Malo.

An ARS order temporarily closes the Dinan emergency structure nightly from 23:00 to 08:30 and suspends overnight SMUR from June 15 through September 30, 2026. Recheck after September 30 and confirm doctors, networks, specialists, referrals, transport, and aftercare.
