Preventive health for children and young people

What happens in childhood and youth influences health later on in life. That’s why we promote children's health with measures and preventive healthcare in early detection and intervention, sex education and schools.

Sexuality education

Educated children and youth protect themselves better against sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies. They develop healthier lifestyles too. The federal government is therefore supporting nationwide sexuality education in the cantons.
