Medical insurance is essential for non-EU citizens. You should arrange health insurance to cover any medical services while in the country. EU nationals are generally eligible for free medical care (you will be required to show your passport when seeking medical attention). Dental treatment must be paid for. Emergency treatment and non-hospital first aid are free for all visitors to the Czech Republic.
