Our health is our most important asset and we all have to take responsibility to maintain it. We often only realise this when we fall ill. In times of the coronavirus, health is one of the mega topics, which is also reflected in the increasing number of media reports, TV shows, apps, seminars and so on.
Studies and an expert report by the Federal Govern-ment confirm the following statement: People with a higher level of health literacy are less likely to fall ill and will recover more quickly whenever they fall ill. They are healthier and help to curb the cons-tantly rising health costs.
​
Switzerland still has a lot of potential in this area. As European surveys show, the Swiss population has poorer health literacy than the average European country. The annual additional costs of CHF 2.2 to 3.3 billion caused by insufficient health literacy, frequent consultations with doctors, emergency admission and increased inpatient treatment are considerable.
ORGANIZATION
The non-profit association Health Competence Switzerland is responsible for the project and provides financial support within the scope of its possibilities. The patronage fulfils representative tasks. The Scientific Partners (universities, professional associations, etc.) support the world of experience with content and knowledge, and the Audit Committee examines compliance issues. The Organising Committee ensures the development of the project from planning to opening. MAX & EVE AG is responsible for the operative business.
