Jean-Louis Valls, director of the CTP, has suggested that Andorra and its neighbours might not need separate hospitals on either side of the border if they could instead develop a single, larger and more modern facility.
In comments published on 1 March 2026, Valls questioned the necessity of duplicating healthcare infrastructure across frontiers, arguing that physical borders create more obstacles than mental ones. He proposed consolidating resources into a superior shared hospital as a practical alternative.
The remarks highlight ongoing discussions about cross-border cooperation in Andorra, where proximity to France and Spain shapes regional services. Valls emphasised that overcoming physical barriers could lead to improved medical capabilities for all involved.
