Expert group Medical Investment Goods
Medical investment goods play a key role in modern healthcare. They are used in hospitals, medical practices, retirement and nursing homes, rehabilitation clinics and medical laboratories, as well as in the home environment. Switzerland has a high-quality and efficient medical infrastructure, in which modern medical investment goods make an essential contribution to up-to-date and patient-oriented care. These technological achievements also come with a responsibility. Patients in Switzerland should continue to have speedy access to innovative care services despite growing cost pressure. This requires high-quality products, efficient processes, fair framework conditions and constructive dialogue between industry, healthcare institutions, authorities and other relevant stakeholders.
