Why consider the Czech Republic for medical tourism?

Astronomical Clock - The Old Town Hall, Prague

Situated in central Europe Czechoslovakia was divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993 and has been an EU member since May 2004. The low wages and living costs combined with the strength of the British pound means that private cosmetic surgery is extremely competitive within the Czech Republic, and it is fast emerging as a popular health tourism and dentistry destination.

Most of the clinics are located in the county’s culturally rich capital, Prague, known as the City of Bridges, and just a short flight from the UK. A modern city with a magical charm and atmosphere there is much to see and do. Before or after surgery must-sees are the beautiful Castle and St Vitus Cathedral, Belvedere, Lorreto and Charles Bridges and the Old Town Square and Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock. Take a wander around the cobbled streets in the old Jewish Quarter before winding up in a café in Wenceslas Square for a pork or beef dish served with dumplings and washed down with some famous Pilsner or Budweiser beer.

Cosmetic surgery clinics in Prague have the latest technology. Czech cosmetic surgeons undertake several years of specialist training before they are allowed to operate and many of the surgeons working in Prague are British General Medical Council registered with internationally recognised qualifications and training.

Savings of up to sixty per cent can be made on cosmetic surgery, compared with the UK. Consider, for example, a breast enlargement with silicon implants costs £2,120 including one to two nights in a clinic in Prague, and nose reshaping costs £1,610 including one night in the clinic. Compare these with typical prices in the UK: A breast enlargement costs between £3,400 to £5,000 and nose reshaping between £3,000 and £4,000.

As well as the culturally rich city of Prague the country also boasts medicinal spa towns, quaint villages, lakes, forests and chateaux. Other major cities in the Czech Republic are Brno and Ostrava and there are good intercity train connections, making it all the easier to explore this fascinating country.

The climate in the Czech Republic is variable; summers can be lovely and warm and winters pretty chilly, with an average of -5 degrees Centigrade in January, rising to 23 degrees Centigrade in July.
