Switzerland is regularly ranked as one of the top expat destinations in the world. Advanced in almost every way, Switzerland promises an exceptional standard of living for expats. 

Whether you are planning to move to Switzerland or are already settled here, it is essential to ensure that your healthcare needs are met when you live abroad. That’s why Cigna Global has designed its international health insurance plans with expats and international citizens in mind. 

Wherever in the world you are, Cigna Global makes sure your healthcare needs are met

Swiss healthcare: An excellent standard of care

Switzerland has a highly-regarded healthcare system, with universal healthcare coverage for all residents, including expats. The Swiss healthcare system is based on a model of compulsory health insurance, under which all residents are required to have at least basic health insurance.

In addition to basic health insurance, people in Switzerland may also choose to "top up" their care by purchasing supplementary health insurance, which can provide additional coverage for services such as dental care, alternative therapies, and private hospital rooms. 

Overall, expats in Switzerland can expect to receive high-quality healthcare services, with access to modern medical facilities and highly-trained healthcare professionals. However, it's important to note that healthcare costs in Switzerland can be quite high, so it's important to have adequate insurance coverage to avoid unexpected expenses.
