Telemedicine · Geneva

In the canton of Geneva, French is the official language (Art. 5 of the cantonal constitution). French-speaking patients have their appointments with us in English, and German or Russian are also possible. The information call can also take place in Italian; the language of the consultation is then agreed before the appointment. Each consultation is a video call with the same physician, so none of them requires a journey from Geneva to Zurich.

Our physician Oxana Smagulova decides individually in the consultation whether treatment with medical cannabis is medically indicated.

Common questions

  • Can I speak French with the physician?

    No, French is not one of our appointment languages. If French is your language, the information call and the consultation are held in English.

  • Does La Cannabinothèque in Vernier have anything to do with medical treatment?

    No. It is a pilot trial for non-medical purposes (Art. 8a BetmG): use for medical reasons is not part of such trials, and participants must live in the canton of Geneva (Art. 14 BetmPV). A medical treatment is led by a physician and is entirely separate from it.
