The thesis is focused on the epidemic of Ebola between years 2014 and 2015 and response of the Czech Republic. The main objective of the thesis is to assess the strategy of the Czech Republic in order to eliminate import of Ebola. The thesis is using study of documents and its effort is a complex overview of the given matters. Used documents are especially information and reports of international and Czech organizations, regulations, expert articles, electronic inquiries and media reports. There was defined 5 research questions. First question is focused on the demographic and epidemiological characteristics of the epidemic in West Africa. Second question was analysing steps, which were performed within the system of preparedness for highly contagious infections in the Czech Republic. I have divided the whole strategy of the Czech Republic into 10 points. They consist of the enforcing of International Health Regulation (2005), Decision no. 1082/2013/EU of the EP and of the Council, National action plan for the case of event, which is subject to International Health Regulation and two directives, implementation of special measures on international airports, conclusion of cooperation agreements, transmission of information within the Czech Republic, simulation actions and humanitarian aid. Third question was analysing the respondence of arrival cards at the Václav Havel Airport in Prague. Respondence was approx. 40 %. (Jágrová, 2016a) Fourth question is assessing the efficiency of implemented measures using the recorded cases of suspicion. Although there was not any case of infection in the Czech Republic, it may be concluded, that implemented measures are efficient. Fifth question is focused on the assessment of implemented measures and suggestions, how the response of the Czech Republic may be improved. Preparedness of the Czech Republic was assessed as very good by experts. Also it may be concluded from results, that preparedness is sufficient. Suggested measures, how the response of the Czech Republic may be improved, are related to the system of rapid alert of the public, creation of team for humanitarian aid, maintaining of sufficient capacities and realization of simulation actions.
