It took the “Program for the Evaluation of Complementary Medicine” (PEK), an investigation by the Control Committee, a constitutional article, numerous parliamentary initiatives, endless media work and a health minister who wanted to respect the will of the people and implement it in accordance with the law.
On behalf of all the complementary medicine associations, I would like to thank former Health Minister Didier Burkhalter, who led the way, the members of the parliamentary group on complementary medicine (in particular Edith Graf-Litscher, Rolf Büttiker and Joachim Eder) and, of course, Alain Berset and the entire Federal Council.

In fact, we should also thank him. Link to the federal government’s press releaseLink to the DAKOMED media release
