Interpellation of the Swiss Federal Council by Nicolas Walder

25.09.2025

At the initiative of Lyme Switzerland, National Councillor Nicolas Walder submitted an interpellation to the Federal Council regarding chronic Lyme disease and co-infections with Bartonella and Babesia. The goal: to draw political attention to a reality that remains largely unrecognised — not only the chronicity of Borrelia, but also the persistence of Babesia and Bartonella infections, which are likewise still poorly diagnosed and inadequately managed. Up to 35% of patients continue to suffer despite standard antibiotic treatment, with symptoms that can be severely disabling.
