Health, Hospitals and Pharmacies
Prague has a
well developed national health system that is free of charge for
citizens of EEU member nations who are carrying an up to date E111
form, and for Swiss citizens. Emergency treatment and non hospital
first aid are free for all visitors to the Czech Republic. You must
pay for any other hospital care.
The E-111 form
should be acquired at a health care centre in your country of origin
before travelling. Private doctors and hospitals will not accept
the E-111 form. If you wish to receive private medical treatment
you will have to bear the costs yourself or make sure you are covered
by adequate insurance. If EU member patients do not have the E-111
form, they will have to pay hospital, doctors’ and pharmacists’
costs in advance and their national organizations will reimburse
them when they present the bills.
Travellers from
Andorra, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Morocco, Paraguay, Peru and Russia
should obtain the relevant certificate from their country, in order
to receive medical treatment.
Travellers from
countries outside the European Union and the countries mentioned
above should arrange travel insurance before leaving home and in
fact it is also advisable for all travellers to Prague to get extra
health insurance cover in the event of needing medical attention
while travelling.
You can obtain
general information about the health care system in Prague at the
district offices.
