SanktGallen Health Forum

Meeting place and platform for interested parties and experts in the healthcare sector

Anticipate and leverage change

Our healthcare system is a central pillar of the Swiss economy, employing nearly half a million people, and it is constantly evolving. New medical discoveries, technological advances, and structural changes are emerging all the time. What do these developments mean for us? How do we shape this transformation?

The “SanktGaller Health Forum” provides a platform to ask precisely these questions and find answers. At each event, we explore a current health topic—kicking off with a keynote presentation by an expert. The focus then shifts to discussion: plenty of time is set aside for your questions and a lively exchange of ideas. Join experts from medicine, science, and politics, as well as students, in discussing the future of our healthcare system.

Target Group

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.

Organizer

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.
