Healthcare in Switzerland

<![CDATA[

Healthcare System in Switzerland

Healthcare is mandatory for all residents and citizens of Switzerland and is regulated by the Federal Health Insurance Act of 1994. The Swiss healthcare infrastructure is more successful than other failed systems as it involved the people to participate in their healthcare.

The government does not ‘ration’ care but keeps down the high cost of healthcare through regulations of medications and laboratory fees. The patients are also asked to share costs to avoid unnecessary treatment.

 

Quality of Healthcare in Switzerland

Medical services in Switzerland are greatly personalized with high quality clinics available, state-of-the-art technology and well-trained doctors. It offers medical travellers a wide range of procedures available from medical treatments to spa and wellness clinics.

The Swiss treatment is by no means cost-effective as other popular medical tourism destinations like India and Thailand as its high quality of care and dedication to medicine is unrivaled. Swiss surgeons have been regarded as ‘artists’ due to their skills in cosmetic surgery and will often provide customized treatments for all patients.

For the last ten years, the Swiss Leading Hospitals (SLH), a federation of 18 hospitals in Switzerland, have been offering a combination of world-class medical treatment and five-star hotel accommodation.
