The most important sponsors are you!

I am always deeply touched when a patient sends a small or large amount of money with a little note of gratitude. I am even more touched when we receive donations from families who have lost a beloved one due to liver disease. It is particular this kind of donations which drives us to become ever better in diagnosis and treatment. It means that we have failed somebody and incites us to avoid such failures. Avoidance of such failures requires research - which we are devoted to. In the future, we would like to acknowledge special sponsors in this page. I am very happy to present the first special sponsor:
  • Kirsty McGlen arranged a sponsored hike in the Bernese Oberleand around Kandersteg; the revenue was given to the Foundation (Image of the remittance). Thank you so much, Ms McGlen!

Another important grou of sponsors are the professors of the institute of clinical pharmacology. We are committed to public health and service to all patients regardless of their income. We feel that we are fairly compensanted for our services and therefore donate our income resulting from clinical studies, consulting with the pharmaceutical industry, fees from private patients etc. to the foundation.

The foundation and its council hereby acknowledges major educational contributions from the pharmaceutical industry; both contributions where 'no strings attached' for educational or research purposes:
  • Essex AG Luzern (Schering-Plough International) for help in developping the Swiss School of Hepatology - an innovative and popular tool for postgraduate education in Hepatology
  • Hofmann- LaRoche AG for supporting a study of  non-invasive markers of fibrosis.
