Health care for foreign students of Third Faculty is provided by Dr. Rachel White, who is positioned at the building I.
Office hours for non-emergency cases are every Wednesday, 12:30 – 14:30. It is not necessary to make an appointment.
Please bring with you insurance card, passport and ISIC.

It is compulsory for students of medical faculties to be vaccinated against the hepatitis B virus (except for those who have demonstrably had the disease or have a sufficient amount of antibodies against HbsAg higher than 10 IU/l.). You are prohibited from taking part in tuition in a medical facility without being vaccinated (or proving you have the sufficient amount of antibodies). Your GP will give you this vaccination – please submit the confirmation of vaccination to the study division of the Dean's Office.

Where can I get the required vaccinations for study at the faculty?

You can contact the Department of Occupational and Travel Health, (Building I, ground floor). You can make an appointment and get further information at http://www.objednavky.fnkv.cz. Always bring your vaccination records, or medical records which document your previous vaccinations.

Where can I get a TB Skin Test, or get a TB booster shot?

Our hospital does not provide TB skin testing or TB booster shots. You can obtain a letter of reference from Dr. Urbanová. Then, you will go with the letter to the Calmetisation centre in Prague 10 – Lung department – Calmetisation, Plaňanská street 573/1, Prague 10 – Malešice; where you can get a TB skin test or TB booster shot.

I need laboratory tests (e. g. MRSA, or other) before taking part in hospital training. Can I come to the emergency room on Wednesday?

It is not necessary to come to the emergency room; you can only e-mail to inform them (in case of the office holidays, or unexpected situations). Then, you can come directly to the emergency room for the swab test on Tuesday or Thursday, at 7:30 in the morning. (The swab test is done by the nurse, Ms Zíková). Remember: you should not brush your teeth before taking the MRSA swab test! The results will be available in 3 days; you can be informed in person or via e- mail.

If you encounter any study or personal problems during the course of your studies, you can contact the ERASMUS+ coordinators, who may either help you directly or arrange for the provision of the necessary assistance at a specialised facility.
