Diagnostics and Check-up Programmes

Why Choose the Czech Republic?

The Czech Republic has a long history of screening programmes and comprehensive check-ups that provably lead to early detection of illness and thus reduced mortality. For example, the Czech Republic was among the first countries in the world to have a cancer screening programme (breast, uterine, and cervical cancer, colon or anal cancer).

Basic Check-up

A basic check-up includes a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s medical history and a physical examination, an ECG, basic lab tests, a discussion of the check-up results with a doctor, a conclusion and recommended solutions for any health problems, as well as a medical report in a foreign language.

• check-up duration: various
• total anaesthetic: no
• hospitalization: usually without hospitalization

Total Diagnostic Programme

A total diagnostic programme consists of a comprehensive internal examination including all laboratory blood and microbiological tests, an ECG (electrocardiogram) test, X-rays, and in some cases also computer tomography (CT). This is followed by a complete and detailed assessment of the results within the context of your family medical history by a diagnostic physician. A second round involves more detailed examinations focusing on one or more specific health problems, for example the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, the muscular and skeletal system (sports diagnostics), the lungs and respiratory system, endocrine, gynaecological, urological, or optical exams. An important part of the exam is a body mass index (BMI) measurement, which helps assess the patient’s risk of obesity.

• check-up duration: various
• total anaesthetic: no
• hospitalization: usually without hospitalization

Diagnostic facilities have modern equipment such as computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, X-ray, and other facilities as standard equipment.
 “Personalized medicine” based on a genetic analysis has become very popular in the diagnosis of illnesses such as thrombophilia, coeliac disease, lactose intolerance, ankylosing spondylitis, and others. These sophisticated diagnoses are performed in specialized laboratories and clinics, which will be searched out by the agency of your choice according to your requirements.

„Second opinion“

Diagnostics can also include a second opinion regarding a specific proposed medical procedure or therapy that is already in progress, including possible complications. In this case, a diagnosis has already been made (for example a diagnosis the client already received in his home country), and top Czech experts in the given field then provide a second opinion. The client can thus assure himself that his treatment is proceeding correctly, or can decide on the most suitable course.
