In the elegant setting of the Prague Boats vessels, an unforgettable gala evening took place, with which Na Františku Hospital celebrated its major 670th anniversary. The event was attended by dozens of distinguished figures from the worlds of healthcare, politics and culture.
The evening was hosted by the popular presenter Václav Žmolík, with musical accompaniment provided by the Melody Quartett. Together we celebrated the hospital's major achievements and recognised the work of those who have helped bring them about.
The guests included prominent figures from Czech political and academic life. Among those present were senator Jiří Drahoš, leading Czech cardiac surgeon Jan Pirk, the mayors of central Prague districts, the prominent contemporary artist and painter Marek Číhal, councillors of the City of Prague and the former Minister of Health Roman Prymula.
The opening speech was delivered by Michal Müller, councillor for healthcare in Prague 1, who in his address emphasised the importance of supporting healthcare and science. The current Mayor of Prague Bohuslav Svoboda also honoured the event with his presence.
Particular attention was given to the presentation of prestigious awards. The Prague 1 Award was received by JUDr. Alena Hanilcová, the legal counsel of Na Františku Hospital, and Honorary Citizenship of Prague 1 was awarded to Prof. MUDr. Rudolf Špaček, CSc., a distinguished doctor and educator.
