Maternity Hospitals in Prague: Where to Give Birth — A List of Maternity Wards

Updated: 20.07.2026

Prague has six major public maternity hospitals, and all of them accept foreign women — including emergency deliveries regardless of insurance status. Below you'll find the address, phone number and key features of each one, so it's easier to choose a hospital and register for the birth (registrace k porodu) in advance. Important: without Czech public health insurance, childbirth is paid — check costs and conditions with your chosen hospital ahead of time, and it's best to register for the birth around weeks 30–36.
