RheumaCura is a Swiss patient‑led foundation dedicated to improving the lives of people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders through patient‑centred scientific research. We bring together patients, clinicians, researchers and engaged citizens to ask better questions and co‑create treatments and care models that address what really matters to people living with rheumatic conditions in everyday life.
Empowerment is at the heart of everything we do. The experiences, needs and priorities of people living with rheumatic conditions must be embedded into research design, governance and evaluation, so that studies focus on real‑world burdens such as pain, fatigue, comorbidities, as well as prevention, rehabilitation and self‑management.
Authenticity for RheumaCura means transparent communication, honest, evidence‑based reporting that serves citizens’ information needs, and partnerships built on mutual respect between citizens and professionals.
Resilience shapes our long‑term vision: managing chronic conditions is a marathon, not a sprint, and resilience is also needed to change healthcare culture so that patients are placed at the centre, particularly in research. We work across Switzerland, and where appropriate internationally, to embed meaningful patient and public involvement in research, strengthen the patient voice, and secure resources so that patient priorities become a driving force in innovation and the research agenda.

We invite Patient Advocates, Scientific Philanthropists and Corporate CSR  Partners to invest in societal progress. Whether through personal involvement, donations, major gifts or partnership, your support funds research that is not driven by profits, but by the lived reality of two million people in Switzerland and a vision of healthcare that puts patients at centre.
