Healthcare in Zurich

While all companies provide basic accident insurance for their employees, there is no state sponsored health scheme in Switzerland and so the onus is on the individual to take out private health cover.

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 in the city, highly qualified practitioners usually practice privately working on an appointment basis within specific office hours. Should you request advice from a doctor over the phone you will be billed for the time.
