​​

​

• Please bring your proof of insurance with you.

• For students with less urgent problems, there is an outpatient department that has some limited capacity, with possibilities of one-time prescription of medication if a person has previous medical documentation supporting the medication use.

​​

• Before speaking to a psychiatrist, you will need to talk to a nurse first. The majority of nurses speak little or no English, so here are some helpful phrases to assist your communication:

​​

Hello, I am a student of the medical faculty:

Dobry den, jsem student/ studentka na lekarske fakulte.

​​

This is my first time as a patient in Bohunice Hospital

Poprve v nemocnici jako pacient/ka

​​

This is my insurance card.

To je muj karta pojištěnce.

​​

I need to speak to a doctor who can speak English.

Musim (potrebuji) mluvit s doktorem, ktery mluvi anglicky

​​​

INSURANCE

 

• If you are an EU citizen, you should register your european health insurance card (EHIC) card with a Czech insurance company VZP. This will give you a Czech insurance number that you can use anytime you need to see a medical facility in the Czech Republic.

​​

• The Czech insurance number gives you same coverage of medical care as Czech citizens have, and also the same extent of possible free Covid-19 testing. It’s worth noting that most therapists work privately and will therefore still require payment for services.

​​

You can register your card by going to:

 

​​

• Pojišťovna VZP

Benešova 696, 602 00 Brno-střed

First floor (In front of the bus station)

​

There is also another office in front of FN Bohunice, right next to the Mitte Cafe:

Netroufalky 00/836, 625 00 Brno-Starý Lískovec

​​

* Don’t forget to also bring your ISIC

* If they ask for a proof of studies, you can download it in the IS: Student > During studies > E-transcripts > confirmation of studies

​

You can also send them an  Email  but the maximum validity for the insurance number will be 3 months (whereas if you go in person it’s 1 year): info@vzp.cz
