Ärztinnen und Ärzte für Tierschutz in der Medizin

Ärztinnen und Ärzte für Tierschutz in der Medizin is a non-profit association based in Wernetshausen, Switzerland working on animal welfare, science & research.

Ärztinnen und Ärzte für Tierschutz in der Medizin, formerly Ärzte gegen Tierversuche, is an association of physicians from human medicine, veterinary medicine and dentistry based in Switzerland. It campaigns for the controlled but accelerated transition away from animal experiments towards innovative, animal-free methods such as organ-on-a-chip, organoids and other human-based approaches. Its work includes publishing critiques of specific animal experiments, investigating dog experiments, promoting transparency in the approval process for animal testing, calling for a Swiss exit roadmap, and supporting the scientific journal ALTEX. It also runs public education on animal testing and engages with parliament, authorities and the media in Switzerland.
