Teaching hospital to move from Prague’s Karlovo náměstí square?

The General Teaching hospital located on Prague’s Karlovo náměstí square could be moved out of the centre in order to free up its valuable site, the news website aktualne.cz reported. The idea of moving the hospital has been raised several times, including by the previous Czech government headed by Mirek Topolánek. The current caretaker cabinet is to make a final decision on whether to move the hospital, one of the biggest in the city, at a meeting next Monday, aktualne.cz said. Health Minister Dana Jurásková has said that some parts of the teaching hospital should remain at their current location.
