Swiss Centre for International Health

Improve Health Systems and Population Access

The Swiss Centre for International Health (SCIH) was established in 1997 and is a service department of Swiss TPH. Our objective is to strengthen health systems and improve health service delivery – with a particular focus on low and middle income countries.

SCIH is a leading provider of global health consulting and project implementation services. We leverage in-house, world class researchers in malaria, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases and One Health, and combine state of the art knowledge with industry consulting standards. Additionally, we are a WHO Collaborating Centre for Health Technology Management and eHealth. As such, we provide policy guidance and contribute to capacity building in the fields of health informatics and appropriate health technologies.

As a not for profit organisation, SCIH offers its clients evidence-based, tailor-made and pro-poor solutions to impact population health. Our services include: policy advice; project design and management; operational research; monitoring and evaluation; organisational and capacity development; health information systems.

Multidisciplinary and Multinational

Our interdisciplinary, international teams are based in over 20 countries, have experience of working in over 90 more, and speak all the world’s major languages. SCIH staff work with partners to respond to local needs, thus tailoring the services to the contexts and countries. We apply a system strengthening, multi-level approach and work alongside local, national and international partners. Our clients include multilateral and bilateral donors, global health initiatives, development banks, philanthropic organisations, the private sector and Swiss Federal Health Agencies.
