Ostrava is the third largest city in the Czech Republic. In the past, Ostrava was referred to as the steel heart of the country and was known as an industrial, dirty and not very welcoming city. However, after 1989, the city has undergone a number of major changes, which has led to major improvements not just in the living conditions for its local residents, but also positive changes to the city‘s overall character.

Experiences of patients

Last year my doctor suggested a spa, but my husband was on dialysis. I’ve never been anywhere by myself so I just put it off. By chance, my husband was offered a holiday dialysis stay. So we decided to both go to Teplice, and I think we’re going to go again this year.
