It is a slightly cloudy day in mid-November when I visit the Center da sandà Val Müstair, the health center in the picturesque valley ennet des Ofenpass in Graubünden. I want to know: What is the secret of the smallest hospital in Switzerland? How does the Center da sandà Val Müstair manage to cover the medical needs of just 1,450 people in the valley to their full satisfaction and, on the other hand, to remain in the black? And this at a time when many Swiss hospitals are complaining about deficits running into the millions.
