Healthcare in Andorra

The Andorran health and social security system is very similar to the French system. The General Council (the parliament), the Ministry of Health and Welfare (Ministeri de Salut i Benestar), the Social Security Office (CASS or Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social) and the National Health Service (SAAS or Servei Andorrà d’Atenció Sanitària) govern healthcare in Andorra.

Almost hidden on the border between France and Spain the tiny principality of Andorra is a land of narrow valleys and mountainous landscapes.

 The mainstay of the economy is tourism.

An estimated 10 million people visit each year drawn by the winter sports summer climate and duty-free goods.

 

Overview

The banking sector also enjoys a tax-haven status.

For more than 700 years Andorra has been ruled jointly by the leader of France and the Spanish Bishop of Urgel.

The first Andorran Constitution was passed in 1993 establishing a parliamentary co-principality.

The co-princes remain Andorra's heads of state but the roles are largely honorary.

Routes
To understand the parish's historical, economic and cultural development, there are four routes for visitors to follow around the urban area: the Engordany trail, the water route, the churches route and the trail round the historic centre
