The local hospital closed more than a decade ago. But the offered funds – amounting to 16,000 per a single weekend – are apparently not enough. Anyone who suffers injury in the area of Tachov at the weekend has to drive at least 60 kilometres to the nearest facility to get help. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/nemocnice_pacientka.jpg?timestamp=1728475020 Plzeň doubles weekend rates to attract doctors to emergency healthcare black spot https://english.radio.cz/plzen-doubles-weekend-rates-attract-doctors-emergency-healthcare-black-spot-8265529 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
