Public Health Coverage
This set of KPIs signifies mostly positive, health-related outcomes for Pully's residents.
Life expectancy is in line with the national average of 82.9 years (2016), and all residents are covered
18
by basic health insurance, as National Swiss policy (under the Federal Health Insurance Law from 1996)
mandates that all inhabitants of Switzerland be covered through three streams of publicly financed health
insurance:
1) direct financing for health care providers through tax-financed budgets for the Swiss confederation,
cantons, and municipalities;
2) mandatory premiums for universal health insurance (MHI); and
3) social insurance contributions from health-related coverage of accident insurance, old-age
insurance, disability insurance, and military insurance.
Private insurance, i.e. supplementary and complementary voluntary health insurance (VHI), also exists for
services not covered under basic MHI.
Optimizing health care and services:
It is recommended that Pully gathers and reports data on the percentage of its citizens that have electronic
health records. Recommendation ITU-T Y.4408/Y.2075: ‘Capability framework for e-health monitoring
services’ and Recommendation ITU-T Y.4110/Y.2065: ‘Service and capability requirements for e-health
monitoring services’ can help cities optimize their e-health service provision and measurement.
