Healthcare in Switzerland is renowned worldwide for its quality. The density of physicians’ offices is one of the highest in the world. Hospitals, both public and private, are operated with efficiency and supplied with the newest equipment. So foreigners will find the same standards here as the ones they are accustomed to, or even better.

This high quality comes at a price, of course, so newly arrived persons should make sure of their healthcare and accident insurance. Health and hospitalization insurance is mandatory.

In the local telephone directories, under the heading "Ärzte", you will find a complete listing of doctors and dentists along with their specialities. For a list of doctors and dentists who speak foreign languages, you can consult www.zug.ch/economy.
