Confederation and cantons take action against providers of illegal fresh cell therapy
Bern, 26.3.2015 - Swiss hospitals and private clinics have been offering 'fresh cell therapy' for some time. This is especially popular with tourists from China, Russia and the Middle East. However, the products that are used are not authorised and constitute a significant health risk. The FOPH and Swissmedic, together with the cantons, have advised all providers that they require different licences and authorisations. Charges have been brought against some individuals.
