Living well with health restrictions
More than just insurance: SWICA supports you throughout your life – even if you live with a limiting health condition or chronic illness. With our support services, you'll always feel that you’re in good hands.
Disease management: living with a chronic illness
Martina is 54 and has been living with diabetes for many years. For a long time, she struggled to fit the condition into her day-to-day life. Uncertainty about the right way to eat and exercise, together with the endless medical appointments, was stressful. But since joining the SWICA support programme, a lot has changed.
Together with her doctor and the team at the health centre, Martina has developed an individual treatment plan. She is actively involved in every decision and receives regular advice on diet, exercise and her general wellbeing. The close support gives her a sense of security – and the feeling that she is not on her own.
One in four is affected: SWICA is committed to delivering prevention and disease management programmes
Around a quarter of the Swiss population suffers from some form of non-communicable disease (NCD) such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory tract illnesses, diabetes or musculoskeletal disorders. In line with the national NCD strategy, SWICA has developed prevention and disease management programmes so that those affected can live full lives, even with their health condition.
santé24: support for chronic illness
SWICA has a range of structured care programmes for people with chronic conditions. Delivered by selected doctors and health centres, they focus on the wellbeing and self-determination of the patient.
The programmes include personal medical supervision and an individual treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs. People with these conditions are actively involved with the treatment team and receive comprehensive advice on nutrition, exercise and general wellbeing.
Take advantage of our support and advice for your chronic condition. We will help you manage your long-term health problems better, and improve your quality of life.
How Paula got her life back after an accident
Paula is 41 and loves being out on her bike. But one day, an unfortunate accident leads to a complicated leg fracture. Suddenly, her whole life revolves around medical care, rehabilitation and worrying about her professional and financial future. Throughout this challenging time, SWICA is there by Andrea’s side.
Our Infortuna accident insurance offers comprehensive protection – in Switzerland and around the world – that goes beyond statutory accident insurance. It means you can fully protect yourself in case an accident should happen.
Health promotion and preventive healthcare
Andreas is 57 years old and lives with cardiovascular disease. After his diagnosis, he knew that he wanted to be even more proactive in stabilising his health and preventing the development of any secondary conditions. Together with SWICA, and thanks to the supplementary insurance he had already taken out, he discovered numerous options such as health promotion and prevention that can be achieved even with health-related restrictions.
Prevention covers measures that prevent or mitigate certain disorders and diseases and the negative effects of these. SWICA participates in numerous preventive measures for customers with supplementary insurance, which are delivered by a SWICA-recognised partner or provider.
