Na Homolce Hospital

Na Homolce Hospital (Nemocnice Na Homolce) is a compact, highly specialised hospital in Prague 5, best known for heart surgery, neurosurgery and the Leksell Gamma Knife. Since 1 January 2026 it is no longer a separate organisation: it merged with its neighbour Motol into one institution, Fakultní nemocnice Motol a Homolka (FNMH), and is now its Homolka campus. The building, the departments and the switchboard number are the same as before.

What the hospital is known for

The hospital was built in 1989 for senior officials of the communist regime and opened to the public in 1990. It has specialised ever since in a small number of fields and does them at a high level.

• Cardiovascular programme: cardiology, cardiac surgery and vascular surgery. The Heart Failure Centre received accreditation from the European Society of Cardiology in May 2025.
• Neuro programme: neurology, neurosurgery and stereotactic radiosurgery with the Leksell Gamma Knife, which has been in use here since 1992.
• Diagnostics: a PET centre and a large imaging department.
• Other specialised units: robotic surgery, an epilepsy centre, a sleep disorders centre, a centre for adults with congenital heart disease, and a dialysis centre opened in May 2025.

Emergency care

The Homolka campus is not one of Prague’s walk-in emergency points and has no out-of-hours doctor service. Its acute services mainly take patients brought by ambulance or sent by another doctor. The surgical department provides acute care 24 hours a day (reception +420 257 272 401).

If you need urgent help yourself, the adult and children’s emergency departments at Motol are a short bus ride away. In a life-threatening emergency call 155 or 112.

Services for foreigners and English speakers

Homolka has a reception for paying patients (Recepce platících pacientů).

• Phone: +420 257 273 289, +420 257 272 144, +420 257 272 145

The price list for self-paying patients is published in English on the hospital’s website, and there is an information page in Ukrainian.

Insurance and payment

Patients with Czech public health insurance are treated in the usual way, normally on referral from a specialist. For everyone else the hospital publishes clear rates. Czech medical procedures are priced in points, and the bill is the number of points multiplied by a rate:

• EU/EEA citizens, and emergencies for anyone: 1.58 CZK per point
• Planned care for patients from outside the EU: 3.00 CZK per point
• Hospital stays: a base rate of 98,000 CZK multiplied by the weight of the diagnosis group (CZ-DRG)

These rates are from the price list updated on 1 August 2026. Payment is made at the hospital’s cash desks.

Getting there

• Bus: lines 167 and 168 stop at Nemocnice Na Homolce, right by the main entrance. They connect with metro lines A and B. There is no metro station at the hospital itself.
• Main entrance: on the north side of the building, on level 5, and step-free. A wheelchair-accessible entrance is also on level 1 on the west side.
• By car: the car park at the main entrance has 194 spaces. The first 15 minutes are free, then it costs 50 CZK for each started hour.

Good to know
