“From the perspective of expertise, the Czech health care system is very advanced. But in general terms, it needs more empathy and a human touch.

That’s why from the moment we founded our clinic we’ve been returning to the tradition of family doctors and building our team and services to develop a concept of holistic medicine,” emphasizes Michal Šafránek, director of MY CLINIC, a private facility that on the publication date of this issue of TRADE NEWS is holding the gala opening of its spacious one-day surgery premises.

"This year has proved that climate change is here. Historically, we have never had as many insured events as in 2024. At the beginning of September, ČPP has already registered six thousand reported claims caused by windstorms, torrential rains and hails. Some of our clients have even been flooded several times. The total claims will go well above 300 million CZK, which is a twofold increase compared to last year," says Pavel Wiesner, CEO of ČPP, at the beginning of our interview. This sad fact is confirmed by the data from the Czech Insurance Association (ČAP): During the summer 2024 alone, there were almost 32,000 weather-related insured events in the Czech Republic assessed at 1.8 billion CZK.
