Swiss Round Table on Antibiotics

Publication of the White Paper «Effective antibiotics for the Swiss health care system: today and in the future»

25 March 2024

In the White Paper published today the Swiss Round Table on Antibiotics discusses innovative ways of paying for antibiotics. We conclude that paying higher prices per package will not set the right incentive. Switzerland should rather test annual payments of a fixed fair amount per product – as other countries have already done. Only by joining forces can we revitalise the global development of antibiotics – to the benefit of patients in Switzerland and worldwide.
