Health
EU healthcare privileges apply in the Czech Republic, so EU citizens are entitled to free
emergency
hospital
treatment on production of a European Health Insurance Card or
EHIC
.
The main hospital is Nemocnice na Homolce, Roentgenova 2, Motol (bus #167), which runs
a 24-hour emergency service and should have English-speaking doctors. Nevertheless, all
visitors would do well to take out
insurance
to cover themselves against medical emergen-
cies. Many medicines are available over the counter at a
pharmacy
(lékárna). Most phar-
macies are open Monday to Friday 7.30am to 6pm, but some open 24 hours (all pharmacies
should have directions tothe nearest 24hrpharmacy posted inthe window) -tryPalackého 5
