Comprehensive
Health Care
The GYNCENTRUM Ostrava clinic was established in 1993, which makes it one of
the centres with the longest professional history in the Czech Republic. In 2016, it became
part of the PRONATAL Clinic Group. Thanks to this important step, it has also changed its
identity and is going to welcome its clients under the new name PRONATAL Ostrava. It
currently provides their clients with complex services in the field of assisted reproduction,
prenatal diagnostics, prenatal care including prenatal courses, gynaecology, urology and
mastology. MUDr. Petr Matlák, the head doctor of the clinic, told us more about their work.
