The standard of medicine in Switzerland is very high. Switzerland ranks third among the world’s best healthcare systems and has a large number of highly qualified doctors and modern medical facilities. Medical services in Switzerland are not free of charge, so migrants and visitors are advised to take out health insurance before consulting a doctor in Switzerland. The cost of a visit to a family doctor or specialist varies depending on the doctor’s specialty and the canton in which they practise.
