About the specialty
Women's health and childbirth in Switzerland
Gynaecological operations here are performed mainly by laparoscopy and hysteroscopy: endometriosis, fibroids, cysts and uterine conditions are treated through minimal punctures, with a short recovery. With a cancer diagnosis, the emphasis is on organ-preserving procedures, and decisions are made by an interdisciplinary team.
A particular strength is oncoplastic breast surgery: removal of a breast tumour and aesthetic reconstruction in a single operation.
Childbirth is planned in advance: arrival is recommended at 34–36 weeks. Natural birth or a planned caesarean section, epidural anaesthesia, examinations by a neonatologist and a room of hotel standard. The child's citizenship is determined by the parents' citizenship; we help with the consular documents.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
How much does childbirth in Switzerland cost?
Natural birth from CHF 36,000, planned caesarean section from CHF 47,000. The package includes the room, physician and midwife fees, epidural anaesthesia, a neonatologist's examination and meals. You receive the clinic's final cost estimate before you arrive.
When should I arrive in Switzerland before the birth?
The recommended time is 34–36 weeks of pregnancy. This leaves time to meet your physician, complete examinations and prepare the paperwork.
What citizenship will my child receive?
The child's citizenship is determined by the parents' citizenship. We help with the birth certificate and the consular documents.
Do I need to speak a foreign language?
A medical interpreter accompanies you to your appointments and remains available throughout your stay in Switzerland.
Why come through CorSwiss rather than directly to a clinic?
We are your independent representative and a full-service Swiss medical concierge. We select the specialist for your case from across Switzerland, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent cost estimate before treatment begins. From there, everything is in one pair of hands: medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation, including for those travelling with you, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant. Your personal manager guides your case from the first enquiry until you return home.
