For medical and health professions, the Confederation keeps public registers. They list people, not practices.
These 16 columns are planned.
Many practices are run as sole proprietorships. The name, specialty and practice address of a doctor are then personal data. The export never contains patients’ health data; we do not process sensitive personal data.
Additional rules apply to advertising in healthcare, for example for medicinal products under the Therapeutic Products Act. Check the content and channel of your approach before the campaign.
We sell practice software and are looking for general practices (86.21) and specialist practices (86.22) in the cantons of Bern, Solothurn and Fribourg with a website. How many records have a phone number?
Use

Questions
Planned once the records carry a NOGA code; until then we check the definition in the quotation. Dental practices are a separate NOGA class (86.23), 3,735 businesses in 2024 according to the FSO. The selection covers practices with that main activity.
MedReg lists persons with a university medical profession and is publicly accessible (Art. 51 ff. MedBG). It serves patient protection and quality assurance, not advertising; standardised bulk interfaces are intended for authorities. We do not use it as an address source.
In our definition, yes: hairdressing and beauty salons (96.02) and saunas and physical well-being (96.04) form the industry “healthcare, beauty and wellness” together with human health. They can be requested separately.
