Medical practice Medica Štrenge
Medica Štrenge is a social enterprise dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of congenital heart disease – helping children and adults live fuller, healthier lives.
About medical practice
Medica Štrenge is a social enterprise and medical practice that offers a wide range of cardiologist – heart doctor services and cardiological profile diagnostics or examinations for both children and adults.
Our goal is to promote timely diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease, as well as to help improve the quality of life for children and adults with congenital heart disease. We do this by providing access to a qualified cardiologist, necessary outpatient examinations, and quality care.
All of our activities are aimed at making this assistance available to those who are most often hardest to reach: children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and low-income people.

We welcome:
-
Children and adults with suspected congenital heart disease,

Persons with disabilities,
-
Low-income persons,

Pregnant women.
