A physician consultation by video, for Bern

Bern is home to the Federal Office of Public Health, which oversees the rules for medical cannabis since the amendment of 1 August 2022. The treatment itself is physician-led and runs through a consultation and a pharmacy.

With us the consultation takes place by video, with our physician Oxana Smagulova. She decides individually whether treatment is medically indicated.
