The Czech Republic was one of the larger countries to join the EU in May 2004 and it has the third largest pharmaceutical market in the region. Local production of generics is strong, and was enhanced in 2003 by the merger of the leading Czech manufacturer, Leciva, with its Slovak counterpart, Slovakofarma, to form Zentiva. There is little branded manufacturing in the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is easily reached from other EU countries such as Germany or Austria, and the market is increasingly dominated by imported products.

The country has a history of high drug consumption, a legacy of many years of reliance on cheap generics. In January 2008, the government introduced new fees for prescriptions and visits to the doctor that could result in reduced pharmaceutical sales. The opposition argues that the fees violate the law which guarantees medical care for every citizen. People aged under 18 years are now exempt from the fees.

Healthcare funding is largely public, through health insurance. Provision of care is also largely public; the Czech Republic has yet to develop a substantial private sector. Private spending only accounts for around 12.1% of the total in 2010. One of the reasons for the new fees introduced in 2008 was to increase funding for the healthcare system.
