Anaesthesiology
Anaesthesia, pain relief and control of vital functions before, during and after surgery — in the hands of anaesthetists at private Swiss clinics.
About the specialty
The type of anaesthetic is matched to the patient
Anaesthesiology is responsible for anaesthesia, resuscitation and pain relief. Sensation is suppressed locally, regionally or throughout the body — the choice depends on the operation, the patient’s condition and their history.
The path of a Swiss anaesthetist takes more than six years of training and a further six years of practice in a university hospital. A full health check is carried out before anaesthesia, and vital functions are held under continuous monitoring during the operation.
Each partner clinic has its own department of anaesthesiology, modern mechanical ventilators and vital-sign monitors, and catheter systems for regional anaesthesia.

Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How much does treatment cost in Switzerland?
The cost depends on the diagnosis, the scope of investigations and the programme chosen. We request an estimate from the clinic and pass it to you before treatment starts — with a clear note of what it includes.
Can I get a professor’s opinion without travelling to Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange a review of your documents and a second opinion from a specialist professor — before the trip is planned.
How long does it take to organise the trip?
Usually 5–10 working days — depending on urgency and whether a visa is needed.
Do I need to speak a foreign language?
No. A medical interpreter accompanies you at appointments and stays in touch throughout your stay in Switzerland.
Why CorSwiss rather than going to the clinic directly?
We are your independent representative and full-cycle medical concierge. We match the best specialist for your case across Switzerland, not inside one clinic, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent estimate before treatment starts. From there everything is in one pair of hands: a medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation — including for companions, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical question. Your personal medical manager stays with the case from the first enquiry until you return home — and remains in touch afterwards: we follow results remotely and coordinate follow-up.
