Medicines for people in precarious situations in Switzerland!
There are between 76,000 and 300,000 irregular migrants in Switzerland, most of whom live in very precarious economic and material conditions. All these factors have an impact on their health and well-being.
The national platform for access to health care for undocumented migrants, of which PSF Switzerland is a member, brings together public and private institutions and associations that are involved in the field of care for undocumented migrants.
PSF Switzerland improves the supply of medicines to care centres through partnerships with the pharmaceutical industry.
More than 1,000 treatments per year are thus made possible.
Communication campaign for the project “Access to healthcare for all: in Switzerland too!”
In 2024, PSF Switzerland launched an enhanced communication campaign, including an exclusive video by project manager Sabina Sommaruga, highlighting the living conditions of the populations supported and the specific features of the project. Broadcast on social networks and the “There for You” crowdfunding platform, the campaign raised CHF 4,137 to finance the project’s activities.
