Cannabis therapy for Fribourg
With around 38,000 inhabitants, Fribourg (German: Freiburg im Üechtland) is the capital of the bilingual Canton of Fribourg. The city lies on the German-French language border; the canton's population is predominantly French-speaking.
With the Hôpital Fribourgeois, basic hospital care is good, but specialised contact points for cannabis therapy are rare in Fribourg. Patients often commute to Bern or Lausanne, which is unnecessary.
With evidena.care, the consultation takes place by video. If a prescription is issued, it goes to the Sumiswald pharmacy in the Emmental or another partner pharmacy, and the medication is delivered to Fribourg by post.
