Rete Sant'Anna

On 1 January 2025, the first integrated healthcare organisation in Italian-speaking Switzerland was born. With the family doctor and the patient at the centre, the network involves all the service providers necessary to guarantee appropriate, high-quality and sustainable care, in order to offer the inhabitants of the region a comprehensive and innovative range of healthcare.

The Rete Sant'Anna is an initiative of the Swiss Medical Network, in cooperation with Visana and the VIVA integrated care health plan.

Our health plan

The Rete Sant’Anna health organisation, launched by Visana and Swiss Medical Network, provides its members and VIVA policyholders with all health services from a single source: preventive services, primary care provided by family doctors, hospital services and home care.

This allows personalised patient care and better coordination between service providers, resulting in more effective medical treatment. The VIVA Health Plan and its basic insurance product have been approved by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH).

Why choose Rete Sant'Anna

In the Ticino health care scenario, the Rete Sant’Anna represents a unique and innovative model, designed to guarantee integrated care, immediate accessibility and continuity of care. Unlike traditional offers, in which the patient has to juggle between different doctors, specialists and facilities, with our network the entire care pathway is coordinated, efficient and personalised.

We have built a healthcare system that eliminates inefficiencies and optimises the patient experience, offering easy access to the best specialists, tailored care and seamless service from diagnosis to rehabilitation.

Discover 5 good reasons to become a member of the Rete Sant’Anna

Fast and shorter waiting times

One of the main advantages of being a member of the Rete Sant’Anna is the drastic reduction in waiting times. Thanks to the integration between the different healthcare services, our patients can:

  • Carry out specialist examinations quickly, without long waiting lists;
  • Rapid access to the most advanced diagnostic examinations, with fast reports;
  • Having fast and efficient care paths, avoiding unnecessary bureaucratic steps.

In an often congested healthcare system, our network ensures fast response times and easy access to healthcare services, allowing patients to receive the care they need at the right time

A unique integrated care model in Ticino

Rete Sant'Anna is the only organisation in Ticino that offers an integrated care model, in which general practitioners, specialists, diagnostic centres and hospital clinics work together to guarantee a seamless care pathway.

This means that, by becoming a member, you can:

  • Have a single point of reference for your health;
  • Avoid the inconvenience of having to independently search for different specialists;
  • Benefit from optimised management of your medical record, with a coordinated approach between the various professionals in the network.

Integration of care is a key element in improving the effectiveness of treatments, reducing the risk of medical errors and ensuring a better quality of life for patients.

Customised and tailor-made assistance

Every patient is unique and, for this reason, Rete Sant'Anna offers customised healthcare, where the care pathway is adapted to the specific needs of each member.

Our model is based on a one-to-one approach, which guarantees:

  • A reference doctor who follows the patient every step of the way;
  • Customised prevention and monitoring plans;
  • A direct relationship with high-level specialists who know the patient's medical history and offer tailor-made solutions.

It is not just about receiving medical care, but about being part of a system that takes care of the whole person, with a human and dedicated approach.

Advanced technologies and precision diagnostics

Becoming a member of the Rete Sant’Anna means having access to one of the most advanced healthcare infrastructures in the region, with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and innovative treatment paths.

Our facilities are equipped with:

  • Radiology and high-precision imaging, with CT, MRI and advanced ultrasound scans;
  • State-of-the-art operating theatres for minimally invasive and precision surgery;
  • Specialised centres of excellence, guaranteeing customised treatment for each pathology.

Technological innovation not only improves the effectiveness of treatments, but also allows for faster and more accurate diagnoses, which are crucial to the success of treatments.

Focus on prevention and long-term health

In addition to providing excellent care, the Rete Sant’Anna is strongly oriented towards prevention and health promotion.

Being part of our network means having access to:

  • Personalised screening and check-ups for early detection of diseases;
  • Prevention programmes for chronic diseases, with dedicated monitoring paths;
  • Specialist services for women's health, sportsmen and women and the elderly.

One of the goals of our network is to reduce the risk of developing diseases and to improve the quality of life of our patients in the long term by offering them concrete tools to proactively take care of their health.

VIVA - Aimer vivre!

Unlike traditional insurance products, VIVA focuses on the health of its members, i.e. the insured.

VIVA takes into account the individual needs, such as the physical, mental and social health of each member of the healthcare organisation. This involves a proactive approach to health, the development of a personalised care plan and the adoption of preventive measures rather than the retroactive treatment of illness.

The integrated care model is also particularly suitable for people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, asthma and depression. These conditions often have long-term effects on health and require continuous care to avoid complications, but above all coordinated care. This includes, for example, the correct administration of drugs with special attention to possible interactions between drugs administered for different diseases. Only a global knowledge of the patient's health can guarantee the best benefit of treatment and the reduction of possible risks.

VIVA Rete Sant'Anna and its promises:

  • Guaranteed access to a VIVA family doctor;
  • Personalised care with central coordination: the dedicated «health manager» nurse responds to the member's needs and coordinates the member's healthcare pathway;
  • Free prevention: no deductible or cost-sharing rate;
  • Improved care of chronic diseases through up-to-date recommendations, continuous training for specialised medical personnel and quality indicators;
  • VIVA, in cooperation with 144, provides an exclusive hotline (0800 225 225) that can be reached at any time;
  • Costs under control thanks to care coordination.
