Switzerland spends about 12% of its GDP on healthcare and more than 300,000 people are directly employed in it. This impressively shows that the healthcare sector is one of the most important branches of the Swiss economy. At the same time, this sector is subject to constant change. Technological, institutional and procedural innovations are continuous companions of the actors in the healthcare sector. Anticipating and accompanying these changes is both an opportunity and a challenge. The SanktGaller Gesundheitsforum accompanies this process with selected topics from different domains and thus stimulates a common exchange.
Current questions, trends and scenarios of the health care system and their effects are explored with actors from science, care and politics with the participation of students and the interested population.
Today, stakeholders in the healthcare sector are called upon to make decisions in a complex environment. The SanktGall Health Forum is aimed at everyone who is concerned with health-related issues and wants to exchange views on them. Speakers include experts from the fields of science, healthcare, business and politics.
The Sankt Gallen Health Forum is organized by the Chair of Health Economics, Policy and Management. The Chair's scientific work focuses on the analysis and development of instruments for measuring and managing the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare.
