Preissová, Viktorie ; Jansa, Petra (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
This thesis examines the communication of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic on the social networks Facebook and Instagram during the coronavirus pandemic period from 1 March 2020 to 31 July 2021. It is based on the theory of crisis communication, political communication and political marketing communication on social networks. Using quantitative content analysis, the themes, forms, appeals and emotional frames of the analysed content are examined. The results of the analysis show that the communication of the Ministry of Health within the analysed Facebook posts was mostly devoted to the topic of sanitary and anti-epidemic measures, the implementation and relaxation of these measures and vaccination. In the case of the analysed Instagram posts, the Ministry most frequently addressed hygiene and anti-epidemic measures, the level of risk of contagion in the Czech Republic and the publication of relevant information and contacts providing relevant information. Posts without an appeal and emotional framework were the most frequently published.

Mental Health Care i the Czech Republic: Problems and solutions
Skalník, Michal ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Háva, Petr (referee)
Problems of mental health care in the Czech republic have been defined in the early nineties. Yet after nineteen years of progress in this area, these problems are still major topics in mental health care policy documents. Main purpose of diploma paper is therefore to analyse mental health care problems and at the same time also might-be solutions. Mental health care problems definitions as conceptualized in mental helth care policy documents are found to be plausible. Though the amount of supportive data is sufficent, there are differences in decisiveness of some arguments. Available solutions are brought up and described in various manners in order to show their own logic, rules and after all their usability. Final conclusions consider the roles and responsiblities of various policy actors.

Ministry of Health Decision Practice in the area of Administrative Offences according to The Act on Pharmaceuticals Key Words: Medicinal Products, Administrative Offence, Ministry of Health In the first chapter of this master thesis I dealt with the general issue of administrative offences. I also introduced the Act on Pharmaceuticals and explained the fundamental term "a pharmaceutical," which includes medicinal products and active substances. The state administration is provided by State Institute for Drug Control which adjudicates in administrative offences in the first instance, and Ministry of Health that hears appeals against these decisions. In the second chapter, there is interpreted a material law part of the Act on Pharmaceuticals. I also introduced the elements of administrative offences, responsibility for them, sanctions, speciality and subsidiarity, analogy within the administrative sentencing etc. The third chapter is dedicated to procedural matters concerning the Act on Pharmaceuticals.

Medical Tourism in the Czech Republic and Possible Involvement of Ministry of Health in its Support
Víchová, Alžběta ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Zeman, Martin (referee)
The goal of this master thesis is to analyze issues connected to medical tourism, to show, how the Czech Republic could benefit from supporting this niche and imply whether this support is worth it. Bearing this in mind, I suggest a plan of medical tourism support, which could be implemented by the Czech Ministry of Health. In the theoretical part, the term medical tourism is defined and it is determined what implications medical tourism might have for both source and destination countries. The legal framework on medical tourism is described and I mention reasons why it should be the Ministry of Health's responsibility to support the segment. The analytical part describes and analyzes in depth the current state of medical tourism in the Czech Republic. A research on the hospitals' position on medical tourism has been carried out. Furthermore, a questionnaire had been sent to embassies of the Czech Republic around the world. Based on discoveries made in the analytical part, I conclude that although medical tourism in the Czech Republic has certain potential, this potential has its limits. The main limit might be that public hospitals have little motivation to seek for revenues outside of subsidies. In accordance with the aforementioned, I suggest a plan on medical tourism support for the Ministry of Health and a budget of its implementation is also established. The thesis also mentions its possible connection to medical export.

View of nurses on the health - care reform
ABRMANOVÁ, Michaela
This thesis analyses the reforms of health and social care in the Czech Republic, focusing on the impacts of the reform measures on providers and consumers of health care. Health reforms are currently very up to date, but have not yet been adequately processed and published. Health care of the modern state which Czech republic undoubtedly is must provide affordable and quality health care to all children and people of the society. There is however a necessary role of the state as the representative of the entire health system and relevant legislation. In this thesis we studied the prepared government reforms. The aim of this work was to understand this difficult area and bring this issue further primarily to medical professionals. The results of the research can serve professionals in health social area and be published in scientific journals. The thesis contains a theoretical and empirical part. In the theoretical part we focused on health care systems after 1989, the need for a new reform, the economic development, the health legislation and we also mentioned problems of the current health care system in the Czech Republic. In more detail, we focused on the amended laws related to the new changes in the healthcare system of the Czech Republic. Regarding the reform measures of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, we focused on the change in the institutional child care and thus a possible replacement of nurseries foster care. For the empirical part research was chosen qualitative method of semi-structured interview with nurses. The research sample consisted of 20 university educated nurses who work mainly on children's wards in hospitals in Czech Budejovice, Tabor, Czech Krumlov and General University Hospital in Prague. In the thesis we stated six goals and six research questions. First, we wanted to determine nurses opinions on the big planned new health and social reform. Furthermore, we were interested in awareness nurses would planned changes in the health and social sphere with other goals we wanted to see what would nurses would like to change in the health system of the Czech Republic, how well informed Theky are about the changes in health care since 1989, what they know about the problems of institutional care and what their opinion on the possible cancelation of nurseries and they replace ment of institutional care by foster care is. From the research it was shown that the specifics of the health reform were seen by the respondents from different point of views. During the qualitative investigation it was found that the knowledge of university educated nurses regarding the planned health reforms was not fully sufficient. With the year of 2014 crucial changes occurred in the Czech health system. In particular, we do not pay medical fees for inpatient stay (1st. January 2014). By the media discussed many medical fees majority of the respondents was aware of but they didnt know the other reforms. In this thesis we focused on the lack of (un) awareness of nurses of planned the health reforms. Our hope is to convince the wider professional public that basic knowledge of politics in the Czech Republic is a very important issue.

Analysis of costs on HIV positive´s treatment
Hermannová, Monika ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
Virus HIV was first diagnosed in 1986 in the Czech Republic. Since then, over a one thousand of people have been infected. The treatment of such patients is very expensive owing to high prices of medicaments. These are influenced especially by high costs of the development of new drugs. The question of financing the costs of treatment of infected people is becoming more and more up-to-date as their number increases every year. In my thesis, I analyse the contemporary situation in terms of the number of patients and costs expended annually on their treatment, as wells as on prevention against the contagion. Further, I focus on concrete ways of treatment in relation to their financial severity and effectiveness. A part of work is also the quantification of public and private sources of financing of the HIV positive treatment. Finally, I attempt to predict the growth of costs associated with the expected rise of the number of diseased and its impact on the health system. The paper will also contain an international comparison.
