Yet another group has come out against the Swiss People's Party immigration initiative - medics.
Switzerland’s looming healthcare staffing crisis has become a major battleground ahead of the June 14th vote on the SVP’s 10-million population cap initiative.
Opponents warn the proposal could deepen shortages of doctors and nurses, with more than 40 percent of Swiss doctors and a quarter of nursing staff trained abroad.
Nursing leaders say there’s a projected shortfall of 30,000 care workers by 2030, as the population continues to age.
Supporters of the initiative insist essential healthcare workers could still be recruited from overseas.
