About StAR

Resistant pathogens know no boundaries. That is why successfully combating them requires a coordinated and cross-sectoral approach. Four federal offices have been pursuing this One Health principle for a long time as part of the Strategy on Antibiotic Resistance Switzerland (StAR): the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO), the Federal Office for Agriculture (FOAG) and the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). With the StAR One Health Action Plan 2024 – 2027, the Federal Council is now intensifying its cross-sectoral activities once again.
