Health Issues, Care, Hospitals, 24 Hours Pharmacies, etc.

Health Issues
- There are no health risks associated with traveling to the Czech Republic.
- The hygiene standards are reasonably high and the risk of infectious diseases (other than the seasonal flu) is low.
- No vaccinations or immunizations are required (or even recommended) unless coming from an infected area.
- The tapwater is safe to drink, although it may have an unpleasant odor due to chlorination; bottled spring water is available everywhere.
- As there are no international agreements in place between the US and the Czech Republic regarding free emergency medical care, we recommend that you purchase travel medical insurance prior to traveling.
- In the case of an emergency, you should call for an ambulance; the toll-free number is 155; try to have a Czech-speaking person assist you with the call.

Health Care
- In the event of an acute illness or accident foreign tourists can receive treatment in any hospital or first aid facility.
