International Day of Women and Girls in Science: Research needs diversity

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Swiss Medical Network is making a clear statement about its commitment: scientific research and the advancement of women go hand in hand.

Scientific progress stems from diverse perspectives, commitment and interdisciplinary collaboration. In our clinics and research centres, many women are making a decisive contribution to advancing medical innovation and developing new therapeutic approaches.

In a recent video, our female researchers explain what motivates them to pursue research and why it means so much more to them than just a job: it is a responsibility towards patients, society and the future of medicine.

As a leading medical network, we consider research to be a central component of our quality. At the same time, we are actively committed to promoting women in science and in leadership positions.

We are convinced that excellent medicine requires excellent research – and equality for all.
