Schweizerische Alpine Mittelschule Davos (SAMD)

SAMD is the first school in Switzerland to have certified its services for students suffering from allergies and has been awarded the Allergy Seal of Quality.

The SAMDhealth health programme, developed in collaboration with the Hochgebirgsklinik Davon (HGK), has been successfully certified by Service Allergie Suisse. This makes SAMD the first school in Switzerland to be awarded the Allergy Seal of Quality and recommended by aha! Swiss Allergy Centre. This was achieved after an intensive review and adaptation of the school's operational processes to meet the strict requirements.

The aim of the joint programme is to provide young people with chronic diseases with the best conditions for successful education and training. To this end, SAMD has adapted its infrastructure (hypoallergenic rooms) and the code of conduct (nut-free school). The teaching, cleaning and kitchen staff have also been specially trained.

In the classroom, SAMD considers the special needs of those affected and supports them in all matters and concerns. If necessary, specialist HGK paediatricians even hold clinics at the school. Optimal coordination between the classroom and outpatient or rehabilitative means that absences from school are virtually non-existent, and the path to graduation is as uncomplicated as possible.

Keep the pollen outside

When the sun shines and the temperature rises, pollen is likely to fly. So what you think is a cold could be a pollen allergy. Products with the Allergy Seal of Quality, such as pollen screens or air filters, help to reduce the pollen level indoors. This gives you peace of mind from pollen at home.

Why are products with the Allergy Seal of Quality important for me?

I have celiac disease and rely on clear information about the ingredients in food and drink for each and every product. A quality seal makes it easier for me and my family to shop quickly and safely. The children, in particular, find it difficult to read and understand the list of ingredients correctly.

High protein but lactose-free!

Proteins are important for muscles, organs, bones and the immune system. They promote satiety and support the production of enzymes and hormones. For people with lactose intolerance, lactose-free high-protein products are a valuable alternative for enjoying dairy products without worrying and getting enough protein. Our database offers a constantly growing selection of high-protein products with the Allergy Seal of Quality.
