Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer but, when detected early, it can often be treated successfully. [1]

This year, the CHIS has signed an agreement with the UNILABS laboratory in Switzerland to facilitate access to colon cancer screening for its members aged 50 and over.

The colon cancer screening test is 100 % reimbursed by the CHIS for members aged 50 and over, once every two years. From the age of 50, members will receive a notification from our third-party administrator, UNIQA, inviting them to participate in the screening. 

The screening kit can be obtained from the following UNILABS laboratories: 

-    Meyrin – 6 Chemin Antoine-Verchère, 1217 Meyrin
-    Les Cygnes – 20 Rue de Lausanne, 1201 Geneva
-    Frontenex- 16 Avenue de Frontenex, 1207 Geneva
