Swiss health system

The Swiss health system is a high-quality, universal healthcare model primarily funded through mandatory health insurance. Every resident must purchase basic health coverage from private insurers, ensuring access to essential medical services. While the government regulates insurance plans, insurers compete to offer better services at affordable rates. Patients have the freedom to choose their healthcare providers, promoting flexibility. The system combines public and private elements, with additional benefits available through supplementary insurance. Overall, Switzerland balances high standards of care with individual responsibility for health costs, leading to excellent health outcomes and patient satisfaction.
