Swiss Medical Network

What Swiss Medical Network does

Swiss Medical Network is one of Switzerland's largest private hospital groups, operating 19 clinics and hospitals, 80 medical and competence centers, and a network of 22 eye clinics (Swiss Visio) across all three of the country's language regions — French, German, and Italian-speaking. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Genolier (canton of Vaud), the company functions as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aevis Victoria SA, a Swiss diversified conglomerate. Its clinical footprint is anchored by flagship facilities such as Clinique de Genolier, Privatklinik Bethanien (Zürich), Clinica Sant'Anna (Ticino), and Swiss Visio eye centers, supported by a referral network of more than 2,300 affiliated accredited doctors spanning orthopedics, oncology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, urology, gynaecology, and radio-oncology.

The technology stack is centered on an extensive fleet of robotic surgical and imaging systems — Da Vinci, Mako, VELYS, ROSA, OARM 2, and CyberKnife platforms — combined with advanced diagnostics (3T-MRI) and radiotherapy technologies (Papillon contact radiotherapy, MRgFUS, Sonata). Patient-facing digital services include the Well symptom-checker application, the aiaibot conversational AI chatbot (developed with swis moonshot AG), and Medicosearch-driven online appointment booking. Since 2025, the network has been a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, enabling cross-institutional second opinions and clinical collaboration.

Swiss Medical Network generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service hospital and outpatient care, priced under the Swiss TARMED and DRG frameworks. The business model is being actively diversified via integrated care regions — Réseau de l'Arc (Jura bernois), Rete Sant'Anna (Ticino, launched January 2025), Aare-Netz (German-speaking Switzerland, launching January 2026), and the Arc lémanique region — which coordinate primary care, specialist, hospital, and home care services under the VIVA managed-care health plan distributed in partnership with Visana insurance, targeting over 350,000 Swiss residents. Customer segments are anchored in domestic Swiss residents and international medical tourists (served via Genolier Patient Services), with B2B revenue from insurance partners and corporate occupational health clients. Growth has been driven by serial acquisitions (Centromedico in October 2024, Spital Zofingen in 2025, and an active pursuit of GZO Spital Wetzikon) and capital structure backing through a CHF 250 million revolving credit facility led by Credit Suisse.
