Less is sometimes more. Against overtreatment and incorrect treatment in medicine

In Switzerland, too, treatments and examinations are carried out that do not bring any added value to the patients. The non-profit organisation smarter medicine pursues the goal of ensuring that medical measures are only used if they actually bring something. To achieve this, the association promotes discussion and research on unnecessary treatments and provides information material.
