A recent study, 'Complementary Evaluation Programme' (PEK study), conducted for the Swiss Government made some interesting observations. It says, the primary care practises with homeopathic
treatment cause less additional costs in the long term than conventional primary care practises. Also it reduces the number of days spent in the hospital and helps avoid future expenses such as less incapacity of work, fewer referrals to specialists, fewer special tests and a lower rate of side effects.
