Nostra Senyora de Meritxell Hospital

The hospital was built in 1993 on a very steep site of only 5,000 sqm in Escaldes-Engordany. It is constructed on 12 levels. The three lowest levels constitute a car park for 267 cars. The upper floors form an S-shaped linear block. There are 192 single bed rooms with bathrooms.^[1]

An artistic installation in the hospital square to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was opened by the Minister of Health, Carles Álvarez in December 2018.^[2]

A new radiotherapy unit is to be constructed in the car park on Avenida Fiter i Rossell, next to the hospital, and connected to it by a lift. ^[3]

For specialist treatment patients may be sent to Barcelona or Toulouse by helicopter.^[4]
