[Pediatric integrative medicine is an integral part of child health care in Switzerland].

Based on evidence and experience, pediatric integrative medicine uses conventional and complementary therapies in an interprofessional approach to optimally support health and development of children and adolescents. Switzerland has a high standard of child health care including complementary medicine. Many pediatricians and family physicians offer an integrative approach to their patients based on additional trainings in complementary medicine, which ensures a full and competent medical care. The Swiss Interest Group for Integrative Pediatrics of the Swiss Society of Pediatrics deals with all questions relating to complementary and integrative medicine in pediatrics including the organization of training events and the coordination of research projects.
