Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell
The Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell name comes from the patron saint of the country, Our Lady of Meritxell. The hospital was built in 1993 on 12 levels in a very steep area in Escaldes-Engordany. The three lowest levels are a car park for 267 cars. The upper floors form an S-shaped linear block. There are 192 single rooms with bathrooms.
In December 2018, an artistic installation was inaugurated to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A new radiotherapy unit will be built in the car park on Avinguda Fiter I Rossell, next to the hospital, and will be connected by a lift.
Patients who need to be treated by specialists can be sent to Barcelona or Toulouse by helicopter, as the hospital is equipped with a helipad.
