Strategic embedding by means of a steering committee
The strategic steering of the Swiss Health Observatory (Obsan) is carried out by a steering committee. It consists of one member of management from the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) and the Swiss Conference of Ministers of Public Health (CMPH) and the head of Obsan and its deputies.
In organisational terms, Obsan is attached to the FSO.
Internal organisation
The Obsan team is interdisciplinary and the fields of economics, medicine, sociology, psychology and natural sciences are represented in it.
The Obsan team forms a pool of project leaders and collaborators, who are appointed according to the project. In this way, to each project the most appropriate Obsan specialists are attributed.
