For a long time, the Medical Society of the Canton of Zurich (AGZ) looked calmly at this Monday. The cantonal council dealt with an application by the Green Liberals to re-advertise the operation of the doctor’s phone. The AGZ has been running this emergency organization for four years.
After a lengthy discussion, the cantonal council decided with 91:74 votes to issue a call for tenders and not simply leave this task, for which more than 7 million Swiss francs are available, to the medical association. For the first time, however, it will not be until 2027 and not as early as 2023, as the GLP would have liked.
