Scuol (IPA:/ʃkwol/) is a municipality in the district of Inn in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.
The official name has undergone several changes in the 20th century:
- Until 1943, the official name of the municipality was Schuls.
- In 1943, it was changed to Bad Scuol/Schuls.
- In 1970 Schuls was dropped as an official name, leaving only Bad Scuol.
- In 1999 Bad was dropped, leaving today's name, Scuol.
The official language in Scuol is Romansh.
[edit] Hospital
There is one small regional hospital, called Ospidal Engiadina Bassa (Romansh: Hospital of the Lower Engadin). The hospital celebrates its 100th anniversary on 21 June, 2008. It is one of the country's smallest hospitals, offering basic services such as departments of surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, dermatology, oncology, gynecology, a 24-hour Emergency Department, and a 2-bed intensive care unit. Understandably for a mountain resort with a major ski region, orthopedical procedures are very common.
