Centre Mèdic Pas de la Casa - Grau Roig

Our main function is to attend the users of Pas de la Casa and Grau Roig sectors of GRANDVALIRA (the largest ski resort in the Pyrénées) that require medical attention. To carry out this task we are a team of professionals (MDs, nurses and secretaries) specialized in this field, most of us speaking several languages. The installations consist in two centers (one in Pas de la Casa and another in Grau Roig), conceived and instrumented to give an optimal attention. In the administrative subject we have agreements with the most important assistance companies. Thus, our activity is not limited to the medical attention. We also take part in the collection of snow sports related injuries data, under the coordination of the Andorran health authorities. The aim is to perform studies on this accidents, and to increase the safety in this field by any means (prevention campaigns...) We work closely with different departments of the ski resort improve the security and optimize the initial attention to the injured. We colaborate with SITEMSH and ISSS, the main scientific societies in the field of snowsports safety.
