Mission
Our competence: for therapeutic products you can trust
We are the Swiss authority for the licensing and monitoring of therapeutic products. We perform the mandate conferred upon us by law and work with partner authorities at home and abroad.
We ensure that the therapeutic products we approve are of faultless quality, effective and safe. In doing so we make a significant contribution to safeguarding human and animal health and to maintaining Switzerland's role as a location for business and research.
