title: [Spirituality in hospitals].
abstract: Laïcité, the French concept of secularity that was introduced in France at the start of the 20th century, ensures freedom of religion for patients and requires neutrality from public service establishments and agents. Some users' faith-based demands require caregivers to turn to French law on these questions to be able to take the right actions in care situations.
