Dr. Maria-Àngels Ribas Guitart

Dr. Maria-Àngels Ribas Guitart is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell — operated by the Servei Andorrà d'Atenció Sanitària (SAAS) and the principal public hospital of the Principality of Andorra. With 15 years of specialist experience, she provides comprehensive women's health services including obstetric care, gynaecological surgery, and management of hormonal and menstrual disorders for Andorra's resident population and visiting patients.

Andorra's small population and geographic setting mean that specialist medical care is concentrated at the single main hospital. Dr. Ribas Guitart trained in Spain — as is common for Andorran medical specialists — and returned to serve the Principality's healthcare needs. Andorra's healthcare system is a mixed public-private model with residents covered by the CASS social insurance scheme.

Her practice covers the full scope of obstetrics including routine and high-risk prenatal care, intrapartum management, and postnatal follow-up, as well as the full range of gynaecological conditions managed both medically and surgically. She consults in Catalan, Spanish, and French, reflecting the Principality's multilingual character.

Dr. Ribas Guitart earned her MD from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and completed her specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology through the Spanish MIR (Médico Interno Residente) programme at a major Catalan university hospital. She obtained official specialty certification from Spain's Ministry of Health and is registered with the Col·legi de Metges d'Andorra. She has participated in continuing education programmes through the Sociedad Española de Ginecología y Obstetricia (SEGO) and attends annual obstetric ultrasound and gynaecological oncology update courses.

Dr. Ribas Guitart provides the full range of obstetric and gynaecological services. In obstetrics, she manages routine and high-risk pregnancies, performs detailed anomaly ultrasound scanning, manages gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders, and oversees normal and operative deliveries including caesarean section. In gynaecology, she performs hysteroscopy for uterine polyps and submucosal fibroids, laparoscopic myomectomy for symptomatic uterine fibroids, and colposcopy with cervical biopsy for abnormal smear results. She manages endometriosis, PCOS, and perimenopausal symptoms including hormone replacement therapy.

As a popular tourist destination and tax-haven residence for European nationals, Andorra sees many women requiring gynaecological consultations or obstetric care during extended stays. Dr. Ribas Guitart consults in Catalan, Spanish, and French, accommodating most visitors from France, Spain, and other Francophone or Hispanophone countries. Appointments at Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell for non-CASS patients are arranged on a private basis with transparent fee structures.

Dr. Ribas Guitart is a registered member of the Col·legi de Metges d'Andorra and maintains active membership of the Sociedad Española de Ginecología y Obstetricia. She has been commended within SAAS for her contribution to obstetric safety and her mentorship of junior clinical staff rotating through the maternity unit at Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell.
