We share information with the public in a balanced, non-partisan and people-oriented manner. Our aim is to create transparency and provide up-to-date, reliable communications and information on therapeutic products. As an independent, professional institution for therapeutic products, we make a clear contribution to the safety of the Swiss population and to the quality of the healthcare system
Claus Bolte,
head of authorisation
Rapid access to reviewed innovative medicinal products and vaccines is very important to us. Smartly applied regulations promote innovation and accelerate access to new medicinal products and vaccines. In the case of complementary and herbal medicinal products it is essential to take account of traditional therapeutic treatments, whereas for veterinary medicinal products the different target animal species pose a constant challenge
Jörg Schläpfer,
head of management services and international affairs
We are professional in terms of our communications, stakeholder involvement and international collaboration. This means we can keep pace with developments and also help to shape them
Helga Horisberger,
head of legal affairs
We have been appointed by the legislator as an independent authority. This is an important characteristic for a safetyrelated supervisory authority to enable it to perform its role within the legally prescribed framework without being bound to directives or susceptible to attempts to influence it.
