According to the assignment, those interested in the contract must have a contract with the General Health Insurance Company for the provision of home care covered by public health insurance and unpaid care. They can apply until April 7th.

Zeman has been treated by private company Senior Home Group since his release from Military Central Hospital in November. Boris astn of the company’s management said today that the company has not read the wording of the tender, so cannot comment yet on whether to participate. The company has a contract with the Office of the President of the Republic for a certain period, until the end of April.

astn has previously stated that home care for Zeman is covered in principle by public health insurance to the extent provided by law. If it exceeds the given regulations or is an act not covered by insurance, the balance is paid by the Office of the President based on the agreed contract.

Senior Home Group, which belongs to the Penta Hospitals group, took over the president’s care in late November after nearly two months of living in VN. The nurses had cared for the president, who was in a wheelchair, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In early March, server Seznam Zprávy stated that Hrad had paid about 689 thousand crowns for Zeman’s services at the end of January.

The contract with Senior Home Group was concluded as a small scale contract, which justifies Hrad why no competition was held for home healthcare providers in the fall.

Prague Castle did not reveal the reason for the head of state’s hospitalization. Doctors confirmed the need for treatment with complications associated with Zeman’s chronic disease. Surgeon Pavel Pafko, a member of the president’s medical council, said Zeman had chronic liver disease and indicated it was cirrhosis of the liver. Zeman has repeatedly spoken about suffering from anorexia.
