From the Cerdanya Hospital to the Franco-Spanish Treaty of Friendship

Discover the editorial by Xavier Faure, President of the Executive Board of the Cerdanya Hospital EGTC, Project Director at the Occitania Regional Health Agency, and his article: "In 2023, the Cerdagne hospital will develop its cross-border healthcare offer".

"Living, working, educating children, and retiring in a cross-border mountain area is inconceivable without a health system that meets the needs of a living area and its population.
Aware of this key issue, the elected officials and administrations of the Pyrenean territories have not hesitated to be disruptive and to commit to a cross-border hospital project in Cerdanya, a "bottom-up" project before its time.

Since 2014, the Cerdanya hospital has remained a unique model of a cross-border public health service. The end of this first decade is that of a certain maturity, with new medical projects, in close liaison with a network of referral hospitals in Perpignan, Manresa, Barcelona and Toulouse.
This principle of health subsidiarity is being promoted by the Occitania Regional Health Agency with the signing of a framework agreement for health cooperation with the Principality of Andorra or in support of cross-border primary care projects with the Val d'Aran.

The Franco-Spanish Treaty of Barcelona of January 19th, 2023 sets out our roadmap in the health field, such as moving towards more cooperation (emergencies and preparation for health crises) or deepening the subject of recognition of medical degrees. With the new Interreg program, initiatives are expected to revolve around the issues of aging and global warming, in a global health approach that makes sense today."
