Background

The Czech Republic is legendary among travelers.  Ask travelers what their favorite city is and many will mention the historic and beautiful Czech capital Prague.  Prague contains stunning architecture in their beautiful castles and old town squares.  Prague has numerous attractions.  The Old Town Hall with the Astronomical Clock, the Lorreto and Charles Bridges, St. Vitus Cathedral, and the Old Town Square are a few.  Walk the cobble stoned streets of the old Jewish Quarter and then wind down with a world famous Czech Pilsner in one of the many inexpensive cafes.

Venture out of Prague into the small towns and you will see plenty of beautiful structures in Cheb, Kutna Hora, Domazlice, Loket, Olomomouc and Kromeriz.  Tourists can relax by the mountains, forests, lakes or in one of the many spas.  This modern and culturally rich European Union Member has something for everyone.

Medical Tourism

Medical tourism is growing in the Czech due to the low cost of high quality procedures, short flights from the United Kingdom, and the fact that the country is already a popular tourist destination.  Most cosmetic and dental procedures are performed in clinics located in Prague, and often at savings up to 60% compared to the United Kingdom and United States. 

The lower cost of living in the Czech leads to lower surgery costs without compromising quality.  In the Czech cosmetic surgeons are highly qualified and strictly controlled.  All surgeons attend medical school for a minimum of six years.  All surgeons must be licensed and certified before performing surgeries.

The Czech Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (CSAS) only admits fully qualified plastic surgeons who have guaranteed competence, a high level of expertise, and Surgeons continuing their aesthetic surgery education.  The CSAS is linked to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the International Confederation of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery (IPRAS).  The Czech Medical Chamber (CMC) oversees that the medical profession adheres to high quality standards and strict ethics.  The Czech Ministry of Health is the government organization that regulates general conditions and oversees the appeal cases of malpractice.
