Andorra's Family Rules Block Doctor Recruitment
Medical professionals, especially doctors, are reluctant to relocate without the ability to bring partners or children under the country's rigid policies.
Key Points
- Family reunification rules bar doctors from bringing spouses with external jobs or insufficient income.
- Spouses' remote work from abroad not accommodated, leading to lost recruitment opportunities.
- Health and Interior Ministries aware but cautious on exceptions to avoid broader demands.
- Experts urge targeted reforms for high-value medical talent to benefit Andorran society.
Andorra's strict family reunification rules are hindering efforts to recruit certain medical professionals, particularly doctors, who are deterred by the inability to relocate with their partners or children.
