The Hospitals of Switzerland (H+) are concerned about the premium increase for 2025. The financial situation of hospitals and clinics is constantly deteriorating, which is why effective and immediate reforms are necessary. This was announced by the association on Thursday.
Without fair financing with cost-covering tariffs, hospitals would not be able to maintain their usual range of services, the association wrote. An important factor in slowing down cost growth is the promotion of outpatient care. Due to financial disincentives, the number of outpatient procedures in Switzerland is still too low. According to H+, the existing savings potential is not being exploited.
