As an EU member state since 2004, the Czech Republic continues to grow as a preferred destination for medical tourism. With a long tradition of high quality medical care, rigorous regulations governing surgical qualifications and the adopted 'German model' for their healthcare system, the country has become a very interesting alternative for many patients. The Czech Republic offers top quality medical treatment combined with a high level of patient safety at very competitive prices. The total cost of treatment with MediCzech, inclusive of travel and accommodation, is typically around 50% less than UK private obesity treatment costs.
Outstanding obesity surgery and treatment in the Czech Republic
At MediCzech they realise that state-of-the-art equipment needs to go hand in hand with a professional, caring team of doctors and medical staff. Their doctors are all highly qualified and they complete further training and are members of professional associations. Most of them have experience working abroad and appreciate that a patient being treated outside their home country needs a higher level of attention and service.

Obesity and bariatric surgery in Prague
Bariatrics offers long-lasting and effective solutions to obesity problems. Although bariatric surgery is highly effective, an active change in the patient’s general lifestyle is of vital importance in order to make the treatment fully successful. MediCzech works with Professor Martin Fried who, in 1993, was the first surgeon in the world to fit a non-adjustable gastric band laparoscopically on an obese patient.
Laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP)
LGCP is an emerging bariatric weight loss procedure similar in its effects to sleeve gastrectomy. The main advantage of LGCP is that no gastric resection or irreversible disruption to the normal anatomy is needed. The procedure, therefore, does not leave any foreign object in the patient’s body, is done laparoscopically, and, all in all, is a low risk and relatively simple.
OB Klinika, the principal partner of MediCzech, is one of the pioneers of this method in Europe, after its inroduction in the bariatric field in the USA. The clinic is a teaching centre in bariatrics for Johnson Johnson for Europe. “We have operated on hundreds of patients already with LGCP and so far the results are extremely promising. The LGCP procedure brings together the effects of sleeve gastrectomy with a reduced length of stay in hospital, reduced risks for the patient and fewer and less costly follow up visits compared to other bariatric surgeries,” says Professor Martin Fried, head surgeon at OB Klinika and executive director of the European section of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity.
In order to offer a true alternative to the existing providers in the field of medical tourism, MediCzech is building a variety of partnerships in the UK. This is done with a view to packaging the attractive pricing with quality pre-operative and post-operative care in the UK. This is especially the case for bariatric surgeries, where the operation itself is only one element of a successful treatment. “A change in lifestyle and dietary habits, combined with access to medical consultations throughout the entire treatment, are as important as the actual surgery,” adds Professor Fried. MediCzech will therefore offer pre-operative consultations and post-operative care at partner clinics in Harley Street, London, and, at a later stage, in other towns across the United Kingdom as well.
Bariatric intragastric balloon (Bib)
A gastric balloon is especially suitable for those patients who need to lose a considerable amount of weight before another surgical operation and can also help moderately obese clients who have repeatedly failed to lose weight through dieting.
Swedish adjustable gastric band (SAGB)
This procedure consists of placing a silicone band with a soft balloon on its inner side around the stomach. It divides the stomach into two parts similar to an hourglass.
Clients in the United Kingdom can also opt for a diet programme with partner Body Chef – they will deliver all the meals of a personalised diet programme straight to your door during the preoperative period and then again immediately after the operation. For more information see www.bodychef.co.uk.
