Gesundheitswesen Schweiz 2015-2017

The Swiss healthcare system is complex and undergoing change. Reform attempts and austerity measures are occurring rapidly, often without clear goals and coordination. Health policy has been a highly contentious and complex area of politics for years, characterized by ideological polemics and strong interest groups. In such a situation, transparency is crucial. This book is the standard work on the Swiss healthcare system. It provides a current and factual overview in 39 chapters written by 61 authors. The book includes 174 tables and 50 figures. The two editors place particular emphasis on achieving high objectivity, meaningful data, and good readability. Compared to the 3rd edition from 2006, it has been completely revised, expanded, and updated. A French edition of this book has been published by the same publisher.
