Swiss university hospitals are facing significant financial challenges, with a cumulative deficit of 210 million francs last year. They are demanding higher tariffs to address rising costs from digitalization, new construction, and the care initiative, emphasizing that current compensation does not cover their specific cost structures or the additional services they provide. Without support, the viability of specialized medical care and the training of future medical staff is at risk.
Swiss hospitals face a severe financial crisis, with two-thirds ending 2023 in the red, totaling a loss of one billion francs. Despite a 13% revenue increase since 2019, expenses rose by 17%, leading to job cuts and urgent calls for support from university hospitals to sustain care and research. The outpatient sector is particularly strained, with rates not adjusted for 20 years, necessitating immediate fee increases to meet operational demands.
Swiss university hospitals are facing severe financial challenges, reporting a collective loss of 210 million francs due to rising costs from inflation and stagnant tariffs. Leaders emphasize the need for increased support to maintain their critical roles in healthcare, research, and training, particularly as outpatient care rates have not been adjusted for two decades. Without intervention, the future of these institutions and their ability to meet public expectations is at risk.
