Background

With extensive experience in complex microsurgical reconstructions, Dr. Zaugg served as Head of Department in the Plastic Surgery Unit of the Valais Hospitals for six years. He played a key role in the development of the Breast Center at the Valais Hospital and opened a dedicated breast consultation service at the hospital in Visp.

In collaboration with Dr. Schertenleib, he participated in the humanitarian missions of Atacora Valais, supporting hospitals in Tanguiéta (Benin) and Afagnan (Togo).
