Corriere del Ticino Online - «If it were a film, the Swiss healthcare system would be a thriller. But there will be a happy ending»
At the Symposium on Sustainable Healthcare as part of the Locarno Film Festival, experts and researchers discuss the future of the Swiss system – Swiss Medical Network CEO Dino Cauzza speaks of a «healthy healthcare system», whilst there are encouraging signs from personalised cancer vaccines
«The Swiss healthcare system has all the makings of a thriller.» Kristian Schneider, deputy director of the Federal Office of Public Health, uses cinematic language to describe a healthcare system grappling with rising costs, often conflicting interests and a level of quality that is difficult to measure. A particularly apt metaphor in Locarno, where the fifth Symposium on Sustainable Healthcare, organised by Swiss Medical Network at the PalaCinema in collaboration with the Pardo, brought together representatives from the fields of medicine, research and institutions to examine the state of health of the Swiss system.
