1️⃣ Зареєструйтеся до сімейного лікаря одразу, не чекайте, поки щось заболить.
2️⃣ Збережіть у телефоні: 155 (швидка), 112, а також pohotovost у Плзні: 378 218 300 (дорослі) та 377 266 647 (діти).
3️⃣ В аптеці питайте: «Je tu levnější generikum se stejnou účinnou látkou?»
4️⃣ Стежте за терміном тимчасового захисту, бо від нього залежить ваше страхування.
А тепер питання до вас 👇 Чи вдалося вам знайти сімейного лікаря в Чехії? Скільки часу на це пішло? Поділіться досвідом, це допоможе тим, хто тільки приїхав!
