Just released - the new SwissLegal handbook on Health Law (German language)

Healthcare costs have been rising steadily since 1960 every year. In 2015, the total cost amounted to 77.8 billion francs, which corresponded to 11.9% of the GDP at that time (Source: Federal Statistical Office BSF, as of 31.10.2017). Due to the increasing annual population, the ongoing progress in medicine and the associated higher average life expectancy, it can be assumed that the overall costs have meanwhile exceeded the 2015 GDP threshold.

The editors, Christine Boldi-Goetschy from SwissLegal Dürr + Partner (Basel) and Karin Caviezel from SwissLegal Lardi & Partner AG (Chur), took these developments as an opportunity, together with other authors of the SwissLegal Group and with the involvement of experienced doctors and specialists from the health sector, to fathom this phenomenon in more detail.
