Foundation for patient-centred research
A life free from rheumatic diseases is possible!
Welcome to RheumaCura
Patient-centred research for better care in rheumatic diseases
RheumaCura is dedicated to improving care for people affected by rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases through patient-centred research. By involving those affected in the design and execution of research, we ensure treatments and cures are relevant and meaningful.
As a Swiss non‑profit foundation led by people living with these conditions and their supporters, RheumaCura ensures that the patient voice guides every step — from setting research priorities to translating discoveries into meaningful change.
What we do
How we advance research
At RheumaCura, we bring together people who care about improving life with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases — patients, families, scientists, and healthcare professionals. Together, we advance research that starts with the patient experience and leads to meaningful improvements in care and quality of life.
Our journey began by raising awareness of how little patient‑focused research for rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases existed. Today, we are building the partnerships and studies that will change this — creating a future where research priorities truly reflect what matters most to those affected.
Our research is open, collaborative, and interdisciplinary, with active patient involvement. We support researchers at all stages, work solely for the benefit of patients, and report our findings transparently.
