society, culture, health, fitness, mental · EN

The podcast describes the work of the Swiss association wunschambulanz.ch SAW, which fulfils the final heartfelt wishes of seriously ill people at the end of life free of charge. With the help of specially equipped ambulance vehicles and professionally trained staff, the organisation enables terminally ill individuals to attend meaningful events or visit places they have longed to see.The entirely volunteer-based project is funded exclusively through donations and explicitly emphasises that it does not provide any services related to assisted dying. In addition to numerous success stories, the podcast also addresses the development of the cross-border service Wunschmobile Bodensee, which is intended to extend the initiative’s reach across the entire four-country region from 2026 onwards.Those interested can support this noble cause through financial donations or register themselves as volunteers to assist with medical and administrative support.
