Today, we had the honor of welcoming the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Andrej Babiš, to our premises, accompanied by the Mayor of Karlovy Vary, Andrea Pfeffer Ferklová, MBA, and the Governor of the Karlovy Vary Region, Petr Kubis.

We introduced the Prime Minister to the work of the Institute of Spa Medicine and Balneology, our current research projects, and gave him a tour of the laboratory preparation area and the demonstration laboratory.

At the end of the visit, the prime minister himself experienced one of Karlovy Vary’s natural treasures and tasted the Snake Spring.

Thank you for visiting and for your interest in the spa industry of the Karlovy Vary Region.
