Promoting prevention.
Sanitas foundation
We are committed to prevention in Switzerland. We support chosen projects and publish studies that are relevant to society.
Who we are
Foundation behind the health insurer
The Sanitas health insurance foundation is the owner of the Sanitas Group. We are actively committed to achieving our objective of advancing preventive healthcare in Switzerland.
We sponsor projects and organisations, use studies to highlight relevant information, and create platforms for discussion about health promotion and prevention. In this way, we are helping to make Switzerland a healthier place – always in tune with the population and making a tangible difference.
We focus on projects that strengthen the resilience of young people or promote the mobility and independence of the elderly . You can find an overview of the foundation’s activities over the past year in the ”Foundation” section of the Sanitas annual report.

What motivates us
Proactively promoting health, taking responsibility.
Prevention instead of treatment
The best treatment is the one that isn’t needed in the first place. When illnesses and accidents are prevented, everyone benefits – each individual and the entire healthcare system.
Making an impact
We make a difference through targeted support. The projects we support are focused on delivering clear results and bring about positive, tangible developments for our target groups. This is how we make a real difference.
Taking responsibility
As a key player in the healthcare sector, we apply our expertise in a targeted manner to benefit the Swiss population. We take a holistic view of health and fulfil our social responsibility.
