How are healthcare services Czechia?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Czechia, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Czechia are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is generally of high quality. It is available to all citizens and foreign residents, including expats, who are registered with the Czech healthcare system. Expats in Czechia can use the public healthcare system by registering with a local doctor and obtaining a health insurance card. This card allows them to access public healthcare services, such as doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescription medications. Private healthcare services are also available in Czechia, but they are generally more expensive than public services," mentioned one expat in Czech Rep.
