Your health is close to our hearts!

NETCARE

Save yourself a trip to the doctor: In the case of illnesses and minor injuries, you can receive medical advice from us without an appointment and at low cost. Through netCare, we can teleconsult with a doctor if needed.

BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

Simple, fast and painless is the measurement of blood pressure. The pressure in the blood vessels gives an important indication of how well the heart and circulation are functioning.

BLOOD SUGAR MEASUREMENT

A blood glucose level that is too high indicates diabetes. Early detection of diabetes protects against health risks.

We can provide you with any medication approved in Switzerland, as well as medications from abroad if required in compliance with legal regulations. In addition, we provide individual prescriptions.

WOUND CARE

Do you need first aid? We care for your cuts, abrasions and burns.

TRAVEL ADVICE

A successful trip also includes the right preparation. With us you will receive a sensible emergency first aid kit, vaccination recommendations and good tips to stay healthy during the vacations and on the trip.

POLYMEDICATION CHECK (PMC)

The Polymedication Check (PMC) is aimed at patients who need to take at least four different medications that are covered by insurance and prescribed by a doctor for a period of at least 3 months. You will receive intensive advice on your medications and how to take them. The aim is for you as a patient to cope better with your medications and thus increase the success of your therapy.
