The official medical service for non-Czechs in Prague is the Foreigners' Medical Clinic at Na Homolce Hospital in Prague 5. Although care is generally of a reasonable standard, it may be difficult to obtain services in English or French after normal working hours. To call an ambulance in an emergency, the telephone number is 155. The ambulance will typically take you to the closest hospital rather than to the Foreigners Medical Clinic. There are also private clinics which specialize in providing treatment and referrals for English-speaking patients.
Doctors are willing to make house calls to the main hotels in Prague.
Finally, the Embassy consular section can provide you with a list of several Czech doctors, which indicates their area of specialization and their language abilities. To obtain a copy of this list, you should contact a consular officer. The June 1997 OAS payment will be their last one. Copies of many Canadian tax forms and publications are available from Canadian embassies or consulates. Further information can be obtained by contacting the Consular Section of the Canadian Embassy.
