20 years of Swissmedic

Ceremony at Berne City Hall for the 20th anniversary of Swissmedic, the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products. Alain Berset recalls the agency’s role during the pandemic — the first authority in the world to authorise a Covid-19 vaccine under the ordinary procedure, in December 2020 — and the importance of its independence for public trust.
