Practical guide and brochure available in English and French
The SDC Health Guidance 2022-24 aims to increase coherence and complementarity between bilateral health programmes, global initiatives and partnerships, humanitarian action, and policy work supported by the SDC. The Guidance provides an institutional framework to guide SDC’s engagement in health at country, regional and global level. It looks at the SDC focus orientations in international cooperation in health:
- Advancing Universal Health Coverage
- Addressing the Determinants of Health
The document defines the ‘Health Equity’ and ‘Leave No One Behind’ principles which are at the core of the SDC’s approach. It also gives insight into some of the current health challenges as well as SDC-related responses.
This Guidance serves as a reference document for SDC, its partner organizations and the wider public.

including multilateral engagement (core funding to The Global Fund,
UNAIDS and World Health Organization).

| Swiss Health Foreign Policy
The Swiss
Health Foreign Policy defines the objectives and ways to collaborate in
health. This should improve the synergies and coherence under Swiss
actors in the global health policy dialogue. The SDC voice in the global
policy dialogue is of utmost importance if Switzerland is to keep its
humanitarian image and role in closing the increasing global health gap.

Policy is to define the orientation of SDC in the area of health and
serves as the health sector reference document for SDC, its partner
organizations and the wider public. The health policy builds on the
experiences and achievements of the previous policy “SDC Health Policy
2003–2010” and is in line with the parliament’s bills regarding
development cooperation with the South (Africa, Asia, and Latin America)
and the East (Eastern Europe and Central Asia) as well as in
humanitarian aid. The policy is consistent with the general framework of
the Swiss Health Foreign Policy, formulated by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and the Federal Department of Home Affairs.
