Swiss TPH's work is shaped by the people in the 20 countries where we have offices. Those outside of Switzerland are staffed predominantly by local professionals whose expertise, networks and contextual knowledge are central to our work.

The local teams work hand in hand with communities, health authorities and implementing partners, shaping responses that reflect each country's needs and priorities.
