Welcome to Medical Dispatching 2026 Prague!

 Medical Dispatching 2026 Prague is an international conference with a specific focus on emergency medical dispatching, guaranteed by the Czech Society for Emergency and Disaster Medicine.

The aim of the conference is to facilitate discussion and collaboration among emergency medical dispatching leaders, staff and scientists to foster further cooperation.

Medical Dispatching 2026 will be held on April 23-24 in Prague.

Prague, referred to as the Heart of Europe, has been the intersection of European cultures and a source of revolutionary ideas since the medieval times. Therefore, we believe that it is the right place to come to, share and discuss different experiences, approaches, systems and training in emergency medical dispatching – a vital link in any chain of medical care.

Come and enjoy this unique conference and beautiful spring in the city of Prague.
