University Hospital in Motola

What University Hospital in Motola does

Fakultní nemocnice Motol a Homolka (FNMH, University Hospital in Motol) is a state contributory organization formed on January 1, 2026, through the merger of the Motol and Homolka university hospitals in Prague, making it the largest healthcare facility in the Czech Republic. It operates under the Czech Ministry of Health with 2,135 beds and 6,974 employees, delivering more than 80,000 hospitalizations per year and serving as a tertiary and quaternary referral center for both domestic and international patients. Its service portfolio spans highly specialized programs including lung transplantation (ranked top 7–8 in Europe), pediatric cardiology, spinal tumor surgery, robotic cardiac surgery, robotic thoracic surgery, and comprehensive oncology through the newly opened National Oncology Center (NOC).

The hospital runs on a publicly funded, multi-payer revenue model combining reimbursements from Czech public health insurers, direct state budget allocations and EU structural funds (e.g., CZK 726 million earmarked for the Simulation Center), and out-of-pocket payments from self-paying domestic and international patients. Its technology stack integrates digital radiology with AI-assisted diagnostic support, 3D surgical planning (Materialise Mimics) for personalized operative workflows, predictive analytics for clinical decision-making, and NLP-based systems for automated documentation. Robotic surgical systems (including the Da Vinci platform and the ION robotic bronchoscope) are deployed across urology, gynecology, cardiac, and thoracic programs, and the new Simulation Center for Innovative Medicine (SCIM) functions as a training and translational research facility rather than a clinical revenue unit.

Geographically, FNMH serves the entire Czech population for national referral designations, holds exclusivity for lung transplantation referrals from the Slovak Republic, and operates an International Patient Office that handles self-paying foreign patients. The institution also participates in the MEDEVAC humanitarian program treating Ukrainian war casualties and is a member of the European Reference Networks (ERNICA, etc.) and international specialty societies (EUROSPINE, ESO). Teaching and research are embedded via affiliation with Charles University's 2nd Faculty of Medicine, generating indirect revenue through grant funding, training grants, and industry-sponsored clinical studies.

2. State Budget Subsidies: As a state-owned healthcare facility directly managed by the Ministry of Health, the hospital receives state budget allocations for capital investments, research projects, and European Union-funded programs (e.g., National Recovery Plan funding for the SCIM simulation center).
3. Fee-for-Service (Self-Paying Patients): Revenue from self-paying patients, including foreign patients utilizing the 'Information for Foreigners' department and patients requesting services outside public insurance coverage.
