The Health care ward

The Education, Work and Care Centre Dobrna provides basic health care of people with disorders in mental and physical development in the field of prevention and curative treatment. The health care service is an integral part of health care activities of the Education, Work and Care Centre Dobrna.

We also cooperate with other specialists outside the Centre: dental services for children and adults, specialized neurologists.

The process of establishing users' needs for health care, planning and executing health care and the evaluation of the entire health care process with the user form the basis for providing high quality health care for children, adolescents and adults with disorders in mental and physical development.
