Telemedicine · St. Gallen

The canton of St. Gallen is German-speaking, and German is one of our appointment languages, together with English and Russian. Italian is possible for the information call; the language of the consultation is then agreed before the appointment. Consultations are video calls with the same physician, held without any trip to our practice in Zurich.

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

  • St. Gallen is the capital under Art. 1 of the cantonal constitution, and its 79'487 residents at the end of 2025 make it the canton's largest municipality (Federal Statistical Office).
  • The Federal Office of Public Health lists CanLeg, a pilot trial for non-medical purposes in five other municipalities of the canton, as authorised (Art. 8a BetmG); participants must live in the canton of St. Gallen (Art. 14 BetmPV). We have found no official confirmation that it has started, and it is separate from medical treatment.
