Frequently asked questions
How many ambulance calls are there in Switzerland every year?
Around 550,000 ambulance call-outs take place in Switzerland each year. Of these, 80% involve emergency medical transport.
With an ageing population and growing expectations for rapid medical assistance, the number of patient transports could continue to rise over the coming years. Compulsory basic health insurance often does not cover the full costs. Only supplementary insurance can provide comprehensive coverage. All our insurance plans are designed to protect you in the event of emergency transport.
