Overview
The four types of preventive healthcare with SWICA
SWICA promotes your healthy lifestyle and contributes towards the costs of your activities. We distinguish between four categories that we call “types of prevention”. We
also provide benefits for prevention such as medical screenings, check-ups and vaccinations.
