Foundation Council

Health Promotion Switzerland’s two official organs are the Foundation Council and the Advisory Board.

By law, the Foundation Council is composed of representatives from the federal government, the cantons, Swiss health insurance companies, the Swiss Accident Insurance Fund (SUVA), medical and other healthcare professions, public health research, and associations active in health promotion and consumer protection, as well as other partners. This governance structure allows key stakeholders to work together to promote health and improve the quality of life.
