Some Interesting Facts
Prague has one of the lowest rates of MRSA in Europe.
MRSA
Currently incidences of MRSA are spiraling out of control in the UK and other countries around the world, we are asked increasingly about the risks of MRSA in Prague. We are happy to say that Prague has one of the lowest rates of MRSA in Europe.
The EARSS Website (European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System) as quoted by the Private Health Guide Site, reports infection rates as follows:
| Country | Reported % of MRSA in 2002 |
|---|---|
Greece | 48.6% |
United Kingdom | 44.5% |
Spain | 27.2% |
Belgium | 19.2% |
The Czech Republic | 6.2% |
Netherlands | 1.0% |
Sweden | 0.7% |
The Health Protection Agency reports an increase of the Staphylococcus aureus strain (MRSA) in the UK increasing from 2% (Resistant) in 1990, to 40% (Resistant) in 2004. These are staggering figures which anyone undergoing any kind of surgery should seriously consider.
Department of Health
The Department of Health has published a website which provides information and guidelines for anyone considering cosmetic surgery in the UK or abroad. At Bodies Beautiful, we welcome this, and inpart, have adopted this site as a basis for further developing company policy since 2006. We welcome anything which alerts the public to the danger of badly performed procedures, whether cosmetic or otherwise.
