| Hi,
I want to know about the system of hospitals and clinics in CH. Are there any government hospitals etc that offer subsidised treatments. I am trying to compare it with what we have in Ireland where there are free facilities to an extent.
I was wondering what kind of health insurance is sufficient normally for a family with a baby. Is the insurance costly and will i be paying for the treatment inspite of having an insurance policy ?
Thx | |

If you have a job, you have to pay for private health insurance. Your employer must also pay for 'accident' health insurance. As far as I understand it, this also covers off the job accidents, even sports ones like skiing. Your personal health insurance covers chronic things like illnesses and disorders.
As for cost, you can go to
www.comparis.ch to find the costs of premiums from the various companies under varying circumstances. You'll need to know a bit of German, French or Italian though.
It'll probably be quite pricey for a complete family but at least the actual services are first class.
