Every resident in Switzerland is mandatorily obliged to be covered by basic healthcare
insurance which provides for a wide range of services. Persons with lower incomes are, in
principle, granted reductions on the premiums payable for such basic healthcare insurance.
Thus, every resident in Switzerland is granted access to affordable healthcare.
In general, therapeutic products are only reimbursed if they are listed on the so-called
specialty list. In order to be listed thereon, a medicinal product must be admitted by the
competent Swiss authority, and must satisfy the criteria of effectiveness, functionality and
economic efficiency, based on which the maximum price for the therapeutic product in
question is determined.
