Max Winiger was a member of the working group set up by the Federal Council to develop the national palliative strategy. We advised the Association for kidney transplant patients (Verband der Nierentransplantierten) regarding the Swiss Transplantation Act. Since 2005 – except for a three-year break – we provide support to the ETH Zurich’s Swiss Institute for Business Cycle Research (KOF) for the drafting of the Forecast for Health Care Expenditures and looked for and found adequate new sponsors following the withdrawal of the main sponsor.
We are aware that PR is in no way an affordable alternative to advertising, but that public relation activities need to be incorporated in a well thought-out overall concept. This is why Next does not publish articles but communicates on a theme. With credibility and over the long term.
