A national e-health service called eHealth Suisse (an administrative unit of the FOPH) was established in 2007.
eHealth Suisse is coordinated and funded by the federal and cantonal governments and has three sets of
responsibilities. First, starting in 2015, everyone in Switzerland should be able to give providers electronic
access to information relevant to their treatment. Second, health-related websites and online services will be
required to undergo quality certification and a national health website will be constructed. Third, the necessary
legal changes will be made to realize these measures. The Executive Federal Council made a formal statement
in May 2013 and sent it for further discussions to the national parliament
