The National Health Report 2015 – The health care system geared towards chronic diseases

Neuchâtel, 20.08.2015 - (Obsan) - The health of the Swiss population is generally very good. But the health care system is confronted with major challenges in order to best cope with the greatly increasing numbers of chronically ill persons. The National Health Report 2015 outlines constructive measures for optimisation and steps that have already been taken. Furthermore the National Health Report recently published by the Swiss Health Observatory provides an up-to-date picture of the Swiss population's health by evaluating a large number of health-related indicators covering the whole life span.
