As the medical services unit of the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), we are part of Switzerland’s largest public health research institute and have access to expert knowledge from a wide range of specialist areas. We are in continuous contact with healthcare facilities, hospitals and cantonal authorities and are often consulted in an advisory role due to our expertise.
