Prague healthcare system reform

Overview

Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has initiated a major healthcare reform in Prague aimed at modernizing medical equipment and reorganizing hospital structures. The plan addresses the issue of aging diagnostic technology in the capital, which Health Minister Adam Vojtěch noted has lagged behind other regions due to limitations in accessing certain European Union subsidies.

A key element of the reform is the proposed construction of a ‘super-hospital’ at the Královské Vinohrady Hospital site. This project includes a capacity study to determine the relocation of services from existing facilities like Bulovka and Všeobecná fakultní nemocnice. While the government intends to approve the project by the end of the year, opposition politicians have criticized the plan for lacking a clear strategic concept.
