"Switzerland is home to some of the top medical specialists in the world, and there are a few cities and regions that particularly stand out for their selection. Zurich is one of the most popular destinations for medical expertise in the country, due to its well-equipped hospitals and nearby universities. Similarly, the city of Geneva is renowned for its wide range of highly skilled medical professionals, ranging from surgeons to experts in specialized medical fields like dermatology. In addition, the Canton of Ticino is well-known for its array of medical centers, particularly the Ospedale San Giovanni in Bellinzona, which has some of the most experienced clinicians in the region. Lastly, Basel is widely considered to be a leader in medical excellence, especially in the area of regenerative medicine," remarked another expat who made the move to Switzerland.
