Symposium on the Revision of the Swiss Epidemics Act

The Swiss Epidemics Act, which regulates the protection of humans against communicable diseases and provides for necessary measures, is currently being revised to incorporate the experience gained to date with the implementation of the law and the Covid-19 epidemic. On 16 January 2024, the MCID Ethics and Policy Lab held a symposium focusing on the current revision of the Epidemics Act. The revision project was presented, reflected on from a scientific point of view and discussed. You find here the presentations:

The presentations were followed by a panel discussion with Philipp Jent (MCID and Inselspital), Kathrin Huber (Conference of Cantonal Health Ministers), Hans C. Matter (Federal Office of Public Health) and Ursula Zybach (Member of the National Council).
