General Manager
PROMEDICA PRAHA GROUP, a.s.
PROMEDICA PRAHA GROUP, a.s. has been working on the relationship with our business partners for 26 years, not only in the business, but also as the friends … we try to help the hospitals with various projects.
This year, during the pre-Christmas season, we joined forces with the academic painter Romana Andělová, the author of illustrations for children’s books and cartoon series, and created gifts in the form of bed linen for children’s departments of our partner hospitals.
In the Strakonice and Jihlava hospitals, fabulous characters from the Bimbule planet – Krkouni inhabited the children’s beds. We handed the presents over together with Mrs. Andělová in the departments of small patients and thanked the leadership of both hospitals for their current collaboration.
And given that Krkouni are very popular also in the hospitals, we plan to continue with more projects in the next year.
Like every year, November surfs on the wave of diabetes and struggle with this insidious condition. This year’s run is special by its focus on “Women and Diabetes”. Everyone knows at least 10 women and statistically at least one of them suffers from diabetes. Worldwide, there live over 199 million women with diabetes and the expected increase in 2040 is even higher – around 313 million.
Therefore,Ascensia Diabetes Care has collected 30 portraits of women from around the world that were hand-drawn by foreign artists on graphic tablets. This initiative aims to highlight the crucial contribution of women in the diabetes treatment. These are portraits of women who contributed as scientists, healthcare professionals, educators, and tireless advocates of diabetes awareness. One of these women is our colleague Marcela Kratochvílová, Event Manager and lecturer of PROMEDICA INSTITUT.
To support diabetes awareness, PROMEDICA PRAHA GROUP, a.s., decorated its meeting room with the portraits of women from all over the world.

We are pleased to inform you that thanks to a great team, our Medical Technology Division has completed installation of three new X-ray devices at the Kyjov Hospital’s radio diagnostic department in a record time.

It excels with the cutting-edge design, great variability of tilting movement ensures the safe and easy execution of routine and specialized examinations.

At our exhibition stand we introduced surgical instruments, implants and devices for this type of surgery.

From 18th to 20th October 2017, the 63rd Urology Congress of the Czech Urological Society with an international participation took place. This time the conference was held in the Parkhotel in the Pilsner quarter Bory, where it returned after 10 years.
The Bory quarter is known mainly due to the Prison Bory, which „accommodated “also many Czech giants. This year, for the first time, the European Urology Society (EAU) has decided to merge the traditional Central European Urology Conference (CEM – the 17th edition of the Central European Meeting) with a national conference to enable to see top European urologists also at the national level in the countries of our region.
At our stand, we had the opportunity to present the material of the Porgés division, particularly the Detour Extra-Anatomical Stent, the unique one-time suction-rinse Elefant and other endourological products.
In addition to active addressing of the Congress participants, urologists and urologic nurses, we also had the opportunity to reach out to readers with the quarterly “Urology in praxis”, that was distributed to all participants. In this issue we published an article – a commented case report on the Detour extra-anatomical stent with reference to PROMEDICA PRAHA GROUP, a.s.
The urological congress had a high turnout also thanks to the international participation of urologists from abroad.

Just like every year, also this year on 22nd October we took part in the Day of Health / STOB at the Primary School Rakovského in Prague-Modřany. This event is for everyone who wants to lead a healthier life, get rid of excess weight and does not know how to do it. It is also intended for those in need of control who want to check every year their body condition, body fat mass and glycaemic values.
The reason for our Diabetes Care division’s participation in this event was the last indicator. The interested visitors were assisted by the nurses from Advantis Medical, who performed blood glucose measurements. We responded to all queries about the measured values.
We introduced a new blood glucose meter CONTOUR PLUS ONE, which ensures extremely accurate and reliable measurement, and shows whether the measured value is above, below, or within a pre-set target value.
PROMEDICA PRAHA GROUP’s stand visited about 300 candidates interested in blood glucose measurement, there were about 5 referrals to visit the doctor as the measured blood glucose was higher than recommended.
Our participation in the event was perceived very positively by both the visitors and organizers. We will gladly participate again next year.
