Cannabis therapy for Bern
Around 135,000 people live in Bern, over 400,000 in the wider agglomeration. Despite the Inselspital and a dense network of family doctors, the number of pharmacies in the Canton of Bern that consistently keep medical cannabis in stock is small.
Patients in the city of Bern often have the impression that they must commute to Zurich or a specialised practice for a cannabis prescription. That is not the case. Since August 2022, cannabis prescribing has been freely possible throughout Switzerland, and telemedicine makes the consultation location-independent.
evidena.care advises you from Bern by video. If a prescription is issued, it goes to the Sumiswald pharmacy in the Emmental, which for many people in Bern is closer and easier to reach than some city pharmacies.
