AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY?

Prevention early on rather than treatment later: prevention sounds logical – and saves money and individual suffering in the long term. Nevertheless, Switzerland ranks last in Europe when it comes to healthcare provision, and prevention often faces an uphill struggle in health policy. Why is this the case? To what extent can prevention help to relieve the pressure on our healthcare system in the long term? And why, from an individual perspective, are healthy choices often the most difficult to make?
