The Couserans Country is a rural and mountainous territory of 34,000 inhabitants extending around Saint-Girons (density: 18 inhab/km²). The Joint Association of Couserans Country is a public entity involved in providing strategic guidance and prospects for economic, social and cultural development, as well as tourism development. The Couserans has a territorial health network "EchoSanté" which involves medical, para-medical and social services (home help services, information and coordination centers, residences for the elderly or dependent, insurance services, etc.). The network was built in 2000 in response to a need for local inter-professional care coordination, with the support of the Regional Telemedicine Network of Midi-Pyrenees, associate partner of the project RESATER.
