-----------------------
SWISS MEDICAL FACILITIES ARE AMONG THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
AS THERE IS NO STATE MEDICAL HEALTH SERVICE IN SWITZERLAND
AND AS MEDICAL TREATMENT MUST BE PAID FOR, IT IS ADVISABLE
TO TAKE OUT INSURANCE COVERAGE AGAINST PERSONAL ACCIDENT AND
SICKNESS. SPECIAL WINTER SPORTS POLICIES ARE ALSO OBTAINABLE.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING TO SWITZERLAND FOR CENTURIES TO SEEK
CURES IN MOUNTAIN AIR AND SUNSHINE, AT MEDICINAL SPRINGS OR
AT THE HANDS OF SPECIALLY TRAINED DOCTORS AND NURSES. REST,
DIET AND THERAPY ARE AT TIMES NECESSARY FOR THE MAINTENANCE
OR RECOVERY OF HEALTH, AND THERE ARE NEARLY 150 REST AND CON-
VALESCENT HOMES OFFERING TREATMENTS ADAPTED TO INDIVIDUAL
NEEDS. THERE ARE ALSO 250 MINERAL SPRINGS IN THE COUNTRY AT
LARGE. EACH OF THEM HAS ITS OWN PROPERTIES AND EFFECTS WHICH
COMBINE WITH THOSE OF THE CLIMATE.
