Bonus Episode - Inside Switzerland’s Quiet Rise as a Longevity Hub
About this episode
How did longevity go from a social media trend to a focus of serious science?
In this special bonus episode our host, Jo Fahy, is joined in the studio by pharmaceuticals and healthcare reporter, Jessica Davis Pluss. We trace how Switzerland was uniquely positioned to become a global hub for healthier ageing. We also compare lifespan and health span, examine why access to clinics is so tightly guarded, and discuss why the pharmaceutical industry is moving cautiously in this growing field.
SWI swissinfo.ch is a public service media company based in Bern, Switzerland.
