Professor Peter Zweifel has been closely involved in the development of the Swiss health care system, which is widely regarded as one of the most successful in Europe.

His lunchtime seminar on the 6th of June will outline recent health care developments within Switzerland, and examine some of the lessons the rest of Europe can learn from the Swiss health care model.

Peter Zweifel is one of the world’s leading health economists. He was born in Zurich in 1946 and, after completing his education, in 1974 became an Honorary Fellow at the University of Wisconsin. Since then he has gained a worldwide reputation from his base in the University of Zurich where he became Professor of Economics in 1990.

He is the co-author, with Professor Friedrich Breyer, of the renowned textbook Health Economics, (Oxford University Press, 1997).
