Abstract:
The Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences is a foundation under private law, which was founded September 24, 1943, by the Medical and Veterinary Faculties of the Swiss universities and the Swiss Medical Association. It devotes its resources to the advancement of the medical sciences and awards research grants, scholarships and scientific prizes. Its other services include a scientific documentation service (DOKDI), the medical-ethical evaluation of research projects and the publication of guidelines and recommendations for physicians, particularly concerning ethical standards of behaviour. The 50 years' existence of the institution will be commemorated at a ceremony to be held in Berne September 23, 1993.
