Healthcare in Zurich


Healthcare in Zurich is top-notch, but as part of Switzerland's compulsory health insurance policy, expats will have to pay pricey premiums on their own. No state-sponsored or employer-sponsored insurance is available, and both foreigners and locals alike are legally obliged to procure their own coverage.

As you would imagine from a city with such high standards as Zurich, medical assistance is of the best in the world. When it comes to physicians and dentists, these highly qualified practitioners usually practice privately, working on an appointment basis within specific office hours.

The full and comprehensive listing of private and public hospitals, including children and university hospitals, and the services they offer is available on Citymed.ch.
