Excess weight remains a major public health issue in Switzerland. According to a recent survey by Groupe Mutuel, 61% of Swiss people have tried to gain or lose weight over the past year, and nearly half of the population consider themselves to be overweight. At the same time, Swiss people rate their own knowledge of nutrition and exercise as high.

A new study conducted by the University of St. Gallen on behalf of Fondation Groupe Mutuel provides a new basis in favour of supra-regional hospital planning. It shows that in 25-50% of cases, patients already seek treatment outside their canton and are therefore willing to travel longer distances. On this basis, Groupe Mutuel calls for comprehensive healthcare planning in five to seven healthcare regions.
