No.

Qualitative Info

There are no such policies or good practices launched by the public bodies. The medical school curriculum includes no activities aiming to prepare future doctors to cure patients from different cultures. Neither the Office for Foreigners nor the Central Clinical Hospital of Ministry of Interior (where foreigners get treatment) organise trainings for medical stuff focusing on the specificity of work with a person from different culture, torture victims or PTSD patients. Assistance to foreigners in hospitals – the work done by volunteers from some NGOs – may be considered a good practice in this respect.
