Emergency care in Renens
Since January 2025, the town of Renens has been served by an ambulatory emergency clinic located at the Centre médical Gare de Renens. Residents now have the option of receiving walk-in urgent care within their own municipality, without having to travel to the CHUV or the hospital in Morges.
Renens is the true hub of Western Lausanne. Its train station, numerous businesses, schools, and public facilities make it one of the region’s main activity centers. In such a dynamic environment, quick access to medical care is essential for workers, students, and residents alike. While hospitals remain indispensable for severe cases, many everyday emergencies can be treated locally. Going to a hospital for minor issues often means waiting for hours.
