Czech president awards Golden Plaque to Psychiatrist Cyril Höschl

On Friday, President Václav Klaus awarded the Golden Plaque, a high state distinction, to psychiatrist Cyril Höschl at Prague Castle, on the occasion of Höschl’s 60th birthday. Höschl is a respected figure in his field and the current president of the European Union’s Psychiatric Association. He has been striving to popularize psychiatry and free it of its social stigma. President Klaus stressed that Höschl was known for his achievements in the field worldwide, not just in the Czech Republic.
