EMH is a joint undertaking of the Swiss Medical Association (FMH) and Officina Petri AG, the oldest printing and publishing house in the world, founded in 1488.
A wide range of offers
The EMH publishing house was founded in 1997, with the aim to provide an independent medical publishing platform in Switzerland delivering relevant information for professionals. EMH stands for high-quality, well-prepared information and health policy discussions with a constant awareness of current affairs.
The key publications Swiss Medical Journal, Swiss Medical Forum and Swiss Medical Weekly cover the central areas of professional and health policy, education and training, as well as science and research. A number of other publications are grouped around these three, which are the official organs of important medical societies and meet their professional and political communication needs.
With its editorially independent print and online products and a wide range of services, the publishing house is a reliable partner of its majority shareholder the FMH, the specialist associations and doctors in Switzerland.
The rapidly growing importance of electronic media was recognised early on by those responsible for the Swiss Medical Journal.

This principle steers all activities at Swiss Medical Publishers EMH. Our editing and marketing teams are strictly divided up, fully preventing the content of our magazines from becoming mired in business-related interests.
