Today, Swiss TPH welcomed a delegation from the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and several universities as part of a study tour to Switzerland. The aim of the visit is to exchange views on practice-oriented medical education and the concept of university hospitals.

Since the 1990s, Swiss TPH has worked with Ukraine to improve the country's health system, and continues to support Ukraine in maintaining public health during the war. The Ukrainian delegation visiting Swiss TPH was led by Dr. Serhii Duvrov, First Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health and included 11 participants from the Ministry of Health, the National Health Service as well as several Ukrainian universities. The participants met at Swiss TPH with Swiss public health experts, learned about the Swiss healthcare system and exchanged views around the organisation and legal basis of medical education in their respective countries. In the coming days, the delegation will also visit the University Hospital of Basel and the Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen.
