Czech Republic’s healthcare system developed rapidly after the fall of communist regime in 1989. Thanks to quick growth in funding paired with keeping up with the newest technologies, Czech hospitals are practically equal with those in Western European countries. The opening of borders after 2004 accession to EU caused many international patients to seek cosmetic surgeries in Czech clinics. One factor was of course lower, more affordable prices. However, Czech healthcare system’s technological development and well-educated, multilingual teams of specialists had also a big influence.
Especially hospitals in Prague enjoy a good opinion. However, clinics in Brno and other major cities also present superb quality in plastic surgeries and treatment of various medical conditions.
Cheap flights from many destinations also work for patients’ advantage, causing more and more people to seek the help of Czech doctors.
