Czechia offers to transfer burn victims from Switzerland to Prague

Czechia is among the countries that have offered medical assistance to Switzerland following a deadly fire. Health Minister Adam Vojtěch (ANO) said Switzerland had so far declined the deployment of a Czech medical team on site but was considering transferring patients to a burn centre in Prague. The offer remains open, with specialist staff and the Czech Fire Rescue Service ready to provide logistics. Swiss authorities have activated the EU’s Emergency Response Coordination Centre and plan to move dozens of severely injured patients to hospitals across Europe after the blaze in Crans-Montana, which killed 40 people and injured more than 100. No Czech citizens are among the victims.
