Sankt Gallen Health Forum

Meeting place and platform for interested people and experts in the health sector

witzerland spends about 12 percent of its GDP on the health sector and more than 300,000 people are directly employed in it. This impressively shows that the health 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 constant companions of the actors in the health sector. Anticipating and accompanying these changes is both an opportunity and a challenge. 
The Sankt Gallen Health Forum accompanies this process by highlighting selected topics from different domains and thus encourages a joint exchange. Current questions, trends and scenarios of the health care system and their effects will be explored with actors from science, care and politics, with the participation of students and interested members of the public.
