About the UCT Prague General Practitioner’s Office
The Office typically handles occupational health and safety-related issues for members of the UCT Prague community (employees and students).
It is possible for students and employees who have Czech public health insurance with VZP, OZP, ZP MV CR, ČPZP, or VOZP to use the General Practitioner’s Office as a personal general practitioner (in this case, the UCT Prague GP’s Office will be listed in Czech public insurance system as the only official personal GP in the Czech system). Patients who register for this service can use the Office as their personal medical services provider.
For emergency health issues, UCT Prague employees and students who are not registered officially with the UCT Prague GP’s Office can take advantage of the Office's services. Students and employees who do not have a UCT Prague employment contract and who have private health insurance must pay for any care provided by the UCT Prague GP and can claim a refund for any payments from their private health insurance company.
For students who are registered UCT Prague GP’s Office patients: entrance and exit physicals (required for UCT Prague enrolment and graduation) can be scheduled using the contact information above or can be officially waived after the UCT Prague GP reviews medical records from a previous personal general practitioner.
The Welcome Office provides new international employees with the date for their entrance physicals together with a list of medical records needed for the appointment. Because scheduling an appointment can take more than two weeks, please schedule your entrance health examination as soon as possible, well in advance of your start date.
