About FAIRMED

The goal of FAIRMED – formerly Leprahilfe Emmaus Schweiz – is to prevent anybody from suffering or dying from a curable disease. We are based in Bern and are managed by a voluntary foundation board. Our finances are checked regularly by independent Swiss monitoring authorities and are published in our annual report.
