Oncology patient support and infrastructure in Czechia

Overview

Oncology care in the Czech Republic is being supported through institutional coordination, large-scale infrastructure investments, and community-driven charitable initiatives.

The Proton Centre has implemented a patient-centric model that integrates psychological support and administrative assistance. By assigning coordinators to manage logistics, insurance, and scheduling, the center has influenced national policy, leading the Czech Ministry of Health to introduce oncology care coordinators nationwide in January 2026.

Significant infrastructure developments have recently bolstered care capacity. In Prague, the National Oncology Center at Motol and Homolka University Hospital has opened following a 4.96 billion CZK investment, primarily funded by European Union grants through the National Recovery Plan. This center aims to increase oncology care capacity by 40 percent and accelerate diagnostic processes to meet European standards.

Complementing these institutional efforts, various charitable and artistic projects provide additional support. In Zlín, twelve female patients from the Tomáš Baťa Regional Hospital’s Comprehensive Oncology Center participated in a charity calendar project for 2027. Involving students from the Vizovice School of Clothing and Services, the initiative aims to fund equipment for the center’s inpatient ward. Additionally, artist Eliška Soffer Podzimek, supported by GHC Genetics, has decorated the corridors of the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Clinic at Motol and Homolka University Hospitals. The decor features characters from the animated series ‘Plešouni’ and motifs such as canine therapy to improve the environment for young patients.
