Evidence, research and dialogue with experts

SolidarMed is a learning organisation that documents and reviews the impact of its projects on an ongoing basis. Scientific studies, implementation research and academic partnerships play a key part in this learning process. The aim is to gain insights into how the available funds can be used most efficiently and effectively. SolidarMed always discusses its research findings with local authorities, health institutions and international experts. It therefore influences Swiss and international standards and contributes to better healthcare well beyond the project regions.

Implementation research is key to delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals.

Jochen Ehmer, Head of medicine and public health

In collaboration with universities and other research facilities, SolidarMed conducts targeted scientific studies or acts as implementation partner. The evidence gained helps health authorities and international organisations identify new solutions and develop evidence-based policies.

Research and development partnerships

SolidarMed works closely with partner organizations in Switzerland and on site in the project countries.
