On this website, Swiss health authorities (FOPH) provide information about infectious diseases and how to protect yourself against them. Information about how to access medical care is also provided.
The website was developed to serve as a source of information for asylum seekers in reception and procedure centres and in cantonal refugee centres. The focus is on infectious diseases in order to protect asylum seekers and the rest of the population from infections and to sustain public health.
