Tap water is normally chlorinated, yet still may occasionally cause mild abdominal upsets. Drinking bottled water is advised and it’s widely available. Milk and dairy products are pasteurised in most instances, but not always, so it’s a good idea to check if possible. Medical care in cities such as Prague and Brno is generally quite good and there should be no problem finding an English-speaking doctor. Outside these major urban areas however, you will find very few English-speaking doctors and health care standards will probably be lower than what you are accustomed to. EU and Swiss nationals receive free or reduced-cost medical treatment that is not of a routine nature, on presenting a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Each country however, has its own rules about medical care provision and some restrictions may well apply, depending on your country of nationality. Travel insurance is advised so that you are fully covered in the event of any medical emergency. | |
