The network plays a crucial role in intersectional situations where forced migration adds an LGBTIQþ appurtenance or disabilities.  \nConclusion: SH4E serves as an example of an independent nationwide network of health institutions. It functions as a migrant health observatory and a promotor of health equity. In a global context of rising far-right sentiments and anti-migrant discourse, such a network is indispensable for defending the fundamental rights of migrant populations to equitable access to healthcare.  \nAbstract citation ID: ckaf180 .357  \n409 Swiss health network for equity: addressing migrant health inequities through a national network  \nBrigitte Pahud1, Patrick Bodenmann1, Nadia Di Bernardo Leimgruber2, Marianne Keller3, Moreno Doninelli4, Brenno Balestra4, Kevin Morisod5 1Unisante, Department of vulnerabilities and social medicine cine Sociale, Lausanne, Suisse  \n2Solothurn Hospitals AG, Soluthurn, Switzerland 3Children’s Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland 4Regional Hospital Mendrisio, Mendrisio, Switzerland  \n5Department of Vulnerabilities and Social Medicine, Research and Development Sector, Unisanté, Lausanne, Switzerland  \nEP2.2, e-Poster Terminal 2, September 3, 2025, 13:05-14:00  \nAim: The Swiss Health Network for Equity (SH4E) emerged from the European “Migrant Friendly Hospital” project initiated in 2005.  \nIn 2010, Switzerland replicated this initiative to address health equity issues for migrant populations. The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) supported selected hospitals in developing competence centers for migrants as part of the national “Migration and Health” program. Today, forced migrants in Switzerland represent 132’699 people including Ukrainian people.  \nMethods: Initially, the FOPH mandated healthcare institutions to develop and address equity aspects of care for migrant populations.  \nThis led to the establishment of a national network, which evolved into the formal creation of the SH4E association in 2023. The network transitioned from initial federal funding and coordination to a progressive autonomization process. SH4E now operates through member contributions and federal office subsidies.  \nResults: Currently, 20 institutions representing Switzerland’s three linguistic regions are members of SH4E, including hospitals and ambulatory care centers. The network’s legal structure and autonomy allow for greater freedom in advocacy and policy engagement.  \nActivities include regional and national training sessions, an annual national forum, and regional events on migration health topics.","cbCain8kBwCTXNCd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain8kBwCTXNCd","pdf",47248,"English","# Aim\n## Origins and support\n# Methods\n## Competence centers and equity requirements\n# Results\n## Network membership and autonomy\n# Activities\n## Training, forum, and regional events","[{\"question\":\"What is SH4E and how did it originate?\",\"answer\":\"SH4E is the Swiss Health Network for Equity.
