MUDr. Ivana Čopová, Ph.D.
Paediatrician and paediatric gastroenterologist
In my medical practice, I rely on critical thinking and an evidence-based approach (EBM), while believing that truly high-quality care is achieved only when it is complemented by empathy, humanity, and an understanding of the environment in which a child grows up.
