7.7 Making health facilities more youth friendly

Last update: 23 January 2025

There are no special top-level initiatives to make health facilities more youth-friendly.

However, we can consider a special system of children and adolescents practitioners and children's hospitals as well as children's departments in hospitals as a youth friendly environment.

The only Initiative, which is focused only on babies, is the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative by the WHO, strongly promoted in the Czech Republic.

In 2022, the General Faculty Hospital in Prague opened a doctor's office for Ukrainian children. Care is intended for newborns, children and youth up to 19 years of age. Most services are covered by public health insurance. There's a list of doctors who offer free medical care for refugees from Ukraine. They offer acute medical care as doctors to citizens of Ukraine who do not yet have valid insurance and need medical treatment.
