Aim and purpose
The Association Swiss Medical Oath (ASMO) aims at the large-scale implementation of the Swiss Medical Oath among physicians. The oath is intended to strengthen the professional ethics of this professional group for the benefit of patients and at the same time to counteract the increasing economization in the health care system. The aim of the association is to establish the Swiss Medical Oath within the medical profession. In particular, younger and future physicians are to be informed, motivated and interested for the Oath.
