⚠ Medical Emergency — Read First

Video consultations are not suitable for medical emergencies.

If you or someone near you is experiencing a medical emergency — including chest pain, difficulty breathing, symptoms of stroke, loss of consciousness, severe allergic reaction, or any other life-threatening condition — do not book an online consultation.

Call 155 (ambulance) or 112 immediately, or attend your nearest emergency department.

Mental health crisis lines:

1. General Declaration — All Services

All clinical services provided through Global Health in the Czech Republic are conducted in compliance with Czech telemedicine and medical practice standards, by doctors and health professionals registered with the relevant regulatory body.

Clinical assessments conducted through this platform are remote assessments. They are conducted to the same professional standards as in-person care, but have inherent limitations — physical examination, certain diagnostic procedures, and emergency interventions cannot be provided remotely. The clinical professional clearly informs the user if their presentation requires in-person assessment.

All clinical recommendations, specialist referrals, eRecepty (electronic prescriptions), and documentation are issued solely at the professional discretion of the doctor or health professional following full assessment. No clinical outcome — including the issuance of an eRecept, referral, sick leave certification, or any other clinical documentation — can be confirmed or guaranteed in advance.

2. General Medical Services

General medical services provided through Global Health in the Czech Republic are conducted in compliance with Czech telemedicine and medical practice standards.

All doctors providing general medical services through this platform are registered with the Czech Medical Chamber (ČLK). Registration numbers are displayed on every doctor profile and can be verified at clk.cz.

Applicable to all general medical services:

Physical examination cannot be conducted remotely. The doctor conducts the assessment based on medical history and visual observation during the video call. When physical examination is clinically necessary, the doctor advises on appropriate in-person assessment.
Certain supplementary investigations — including blood tests, imaging, and ECG — require an in-person visit. The doctor may assess the necessity of these investigations and coordinate the relevant requests.
Our doctors do not routinely prescribe controlled substances through video consultations.

Clinical decisions — including the issuance of an eRecept, referral, sick leave certification, and other clinical documentation — are made solely at the doctor's professional discretion following full assessment.

3. eRecept and Sick Leave

Electronic prescriptions (eRecept) are issued in accordance with Act No. 378/2007 Coll. on Pharmaceuticals and relevant SÚKL regulations. The eRecept is issued as an electronic code, which the patient receives and presents at any pharmacy of their choice in the Czech Republic.

Electronic sick leave certification (eNeschopenka) is issued in accordance with Act No. 187/2006 Coll. on Sickness Insurance. The patient's Czech birth number (rodné číslo) is required, and the patient must be registered in the ČSSZ system.

Entitlement to sickness benefit depends on the type of employment — HPP (standard employment contract), DPČ above CZK 4,500/month, DPP above CZK 12,000/month (2026 thresholds), or self-employed (OSVČ) with voluntary sickness insurance. The doctor will advise on entitlement for the patient's specific situation.

Retroactive sick leave certification is not routinely issued. Doctors cannot clinically certify a period of illness they did not assess at the time. The decision to issue an eNeschopenka is always a clinical decision made by the doctor following full assessment.

4. Specialist Medical Services

Specialist consultations provided through this platform are conducted by doctors registered with the relevant specialist college of the Czech Medical Chamber. Registration numbers are displayed on every specialist profile and can be verified at clk.cz.

Additional scope limitations apply to specialist services:

Full specialist physical examination — including cardiac auscultation, complete neurological examination, and complete paediatric assessment — cannot be conducted remotely.
Isotretinoin must be prescribed by a dermatologist in the Czech Republic as specified in the product authorisation and cannot be initiated through this service.
Involuntary psychiatric assessment or treatment under Act No. 372/2011 Coll. cannot be conducted through a remote consultation.
Oncology consultations provided through this platform include second opinion and support — they do not include administration of chemotherapy or other systemic therapies, which require in-person administration at a specialised unit.

5. Paediatric Services and Child Protection

The following conditions apply specifically to all paediatric consultations provided through this platform:

All paediatric consultations for patients under 16 require the presence of a parent or guardian throughout the consultation and their informed consent, in accordance with Act No. 89/2012 Coll. (Civil Code) and Act No. 359/1999 Coll. on Social and Legal Protection of Children.
For adolescent patients aged 16 and over, the doctor individually assesses capacity to consent in accordance with Czech medical and legal standards.
Our clinical professionals are bound by Act No. 359/1999 Coll. on Social and Legal Protection of Children. Where a consultation raises child protection concerns, the clinical professional is legally and professionally obliged to act in accordance with this legislation, which may involve the relevant OSPOD (Social and Legal Protection of Children authority). This obligation takes precedence over confidentiality.
Fever in infants under 3 months of age is a medical emergency requiring immediate in-person assessment. Do not book a video consultation for this presentation — call 155 or 112 and attend your nearest emergency department.

6. Mental Health Services

Mental health consultations are provided at GP level by doctors registered with the ČLK. The following scope limitations apply:

This service provides GP-level mental health assessment — it is not a crisis intervention service, counselling or psychotherapy service, or psychiatric service.
Involuntary psychiatric assessment or treatment under applicable Czech law cannot be initiated through this service. Where involuntary assessment may be necessary, the clinical professional refers immediately to the appropriate in-person service.
Confidentiality is maintained in accordance with ČLK professional standards and GDPR regulations. In limited circumstances — when there is serious and immediate risk to life — confidentiality obligations may need to be carefully considered. The clinical professional discusses confidentiality at the outset of the first consultation.

7. Women's Health Services

Hormonal contraception and hormone replacement therapy may be assessed and initiated at GP level where clinically appropriate. All recommendations are issued solely at the doctor's professional discretion following full assessment.

8. Travel Health Services

The following scope limitations apply specifically to travel medicine consultations:

This service provides clinical travel health assessment and personalised vaccination planning — it does not include physical vaccine administration.
Yellow fever vaccination and the International Certificate of Vaccination must be administered and issued in person at a vaccination centre authorised by the relevant Regional Public Health Authority (Krajská hygienická stanice, KHS). This cannot be arranged through a telemedicine consultation.
Travel health guidance is destination-specific and may change — patients should confirm current entry requirements with the embassy or consulate of their destination country before travelling.

9. Hair Loss and Skin Consultation Services

The following scope limitations apply specifically to hair loss and skin consultations:

Skin assessment through video has inherent limitations. Conditions requiring dermoscopy, biopsy, patch testing, or in-person specialist examination cannot be fully assessed remotely.

Hair loss treatment outcomes vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

10. Referrals and Private Diagnostic Investigations

The following conditions apply specifically to referral and investigation services:

This service provides private referral letters and private investigation requests — it does not provide public-system specialist referrals, which require a registered Czech GP.
