Less is sometimes more. Against overtreatment and incorrect treatment in medicine
In Switzerland, too, treatments and examinations are carried out that do not bring any added value to the patients. The non-profit organisation smarter medicine pursues the goal of ensuring that medical measures are only used if they actually provide a benefit. To achieve this, the association promotes discussion and research on the issue as well as providing free information material.
