Health and Insurances

The health system in the Canton of Basel-Stadt provides a very high standard of care in every respect; the different university hospitals, in particular, offer absolutely world-class medical care. Additionally, Switzerland in general and Basel provide outstanding insurance-security.

A large number of state-run and private-sector hospitals, as well as old people's homes and nursing homes, provide treatment, health care and support for injured, ill and elderly patients. This guarantees peace of mind. And because the statutory obligatory health insurance ensures a basic and uniform level of health care for all, everyone benefits equally from these services.

Basel and Switzerland are also a nirvana for insurance specialists and those who place great value on security; much - in fact, almost everything - can be insured here at any time. Whether standard or specially-tailored insurance - what really matters is being insured. In this context, it comes as no surprise that Switzerland is known as the land of insurance.
