The director of the Federal Office of Public Health, Anne Lévy, visited the University Hospital Basel, considered a pioneer in this field, on Monday.

“The situation is dramatic and must be taken seriously,” Lévy told the Keystone-ATS news agency.“Multi-resistant germs and the fact that not all antibiotics are effective against every infection represent one of the biggest public health challenges.”

So far, only half of Swiss hospitals have initiated a comprehensive programme against this threat.
