"When I received information from the company that I would be transferred from India to the Czech Republic, my wife and I were excited to live in Prague. My employer notified me to take out health insurance for my wife. I thought to myself that we are healthy, so what could happen, but the woman finally convinced me, because even a healthy person can break a leg. So I took out comprehensive health insurance for my wife, and I did well. In addition, not long after arriving in the Czech Republic, my wife became pregnant and, thanks to the health insurance, she was provided with health care throughout the pregnancy, the subsequent birth and post-natal care for our baby. We didn't pay anything, our insurance company paid everything."
