Czech doctors express concern over the impact of a proposed policy that would limit gynecological visits to once every five years.
In Czechia, a significant debate has arisen among healthcare professionals regarding a proposed policy put forth by former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš that suggests limiting gynecological visits to once every five years. This proposal has been met with strong opposition from doctors who argue that such a drastic reduction in the frequency of check-ups could lead to serious health consequences for women. Gynecologists emphasize the importance of regular examinations in early detection of potential health issues, including cancer, which can be life-saving.
