Our Story
Salus Mundi is dedicated to advancing public health through rigorous research, the implementation of preventive interventions, programme evaluation, and capacity building. Based in the heart of the Swiss Health Valley—one of the world’s leading ecosystems for biomedical science and innovation—we work across scales, collaborating with partners ranging from individual researchers and local communities to universities, health systems, and international organisations. Through these collaborations, we generate independent evidence that informs policy, strengthens health services, and improves population health. The name Salus Mundi—Latin for “the health of the world”—reflects both our scientific ambition and our belief that improving health requires knowledge that travels across borders. In a world where the need for rigorous, trustworthy research far outstrips the capacity to produce it, we are committed to contributing work that is methodologically sound, scientifically honest, and consequential for the people and policies it serves.

One day, I lost my job.
After more than twenty-five years in epidemiology, public health, and humanitarian work, I was leading research and prevention activities for two Swiss hospitals. Then I was told there was no longer enough funding to keep me and my team.
I lost my job. I was in the street.
That day, Salus Mundi was born.
Because The need for research, prevention, and evidence-based decision-making exists everywhere. The resources to support it do not.
Large institutions can afford epidemiologists, researchers, and public health specialists. Most hospitals, NGOs, and public agencies cannot.
To give organizations access to the expertise they need without the cost of building an entire department Salus Mundi is today here
