Currently, it is one of the leading centers in the Czech Republic, annually serving 600,000 outpatients and 38,000 inpatients from all over the world.

SAK accreditation guarantees quality and safe treatment at the University Clinic Bulovka in Prague. Each case of the disease is thoroughly investigated to choose the best possible treatment, thanks to CT, MRI, ultrasound, and X-ray technology. In particular, three-dimensional 3D reconstruction of vessels, virtual endoscopy, colonoscopy, and bronchoscopy are the essential areas of visualization. This method is effectively used in biopsy studies, drainage, and radiofrequency ablation of metastatic lesions of organs. Clarity of visualization of organs allows the use of SILS (single-incision laparoscopy) and post-traumatic arterial reconstructions, which require special skills. Doctors also have experience effectively using NanoKnife for irreversible electroporation to treat neoplasms. The method helps form microstructures in malignant cells, contributing to their further death. This approach is essential for minimally invasive treatment of pancreatic, liver, lung, and other organs near large blood vessels and nerves. In severe forms of cancer, it is possible to add HIPEC and HIT-HOC to obtain the best recovery result. In addition to adult surgeons, the medical center has highly qualified pediatric general surgeons, urologists, proctologists, plastic surgeons, and orthopedists. One of the country's most influential departments of urogynecology at the Prague University Medical Center Bulovka offers treatment, but not limited to severe forms of endometriosis, laparoscopic lymphadenectomy, sex reassignment operations, and sanatorium treatment in a unique iron sulfide swamp. Tousen swamp baths are also actively used for additional therapy of neurological lesions. In addition to classical therapy, the clinic has the necessary equipment for resuscitation and intensive postoperative therapy. Many years of experience combined with the latest technologies and talented medical personnel allow University Hospital Bulovka in Prague to occupy a leading position among European medical centers.
