About Us

The Swiss Society for Infectious Diseases (SSI) is a leading organization in Switzerland committed to advancing the understanding, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases. We aim to support healthcare professionals by providing education, fostering research, and promoting best practices in infectious disease management.

SSI focuses on areas such as clinical infectious diseases, infection control, microbiology, antimicrobial stewardship, and global health. We work to improve patient care, address antimicrobial resistance, and respond effectively to emerging infections.

Through events, guidelines, and networking opportunities, SSI connects experts and drives collaboration in the field. We are dedicated to shaping the future of infectious disease care in Switzerland and improving public health outcomes.

Join us in our mission to combat infectious diseases and enhance healthcare across Switzerland.
