W poniedziałkowym posiedzeniu Zespołu Trójstronnego ds. Ochrony Zdrowia miała wziąć udział minister Izabela Leszczyna. Nie wzięła, z powodu obowiązków związanych z powodzią. Niewątpliwie kataklizm, jaki przeszedł przez południowo-zachodnią Polskę musi mieć priorytet, ale nie można zapominać, że...

The United States has released updated vaccines against COVID-19 - with concerns about a large wave of infections with new SARS-CoV-2 variants as a backdrop. A Covid wave is also sweeping through Europe, including Poland, with so little that we know almost nothing about it, at least in our...
So many of my colleagues outside the government are speaking out about the premium that, frankly, I think that the Minister of Health should probably not enter into this discussion, which is absolutely journalistic and political," Izabela Leszczyna said on Wednesday morning, commenting on reports...
The Left will not let go of the abortion issue, the leaders of the smallest of the coalition partners declare. This is a reaction to Donald Tusk's declaration at the opening of the Campus Polska Przyszłości that there is no way in the current Sejm to carry out the legalization of abortion in the...

Doctors have no doubt: supervision of opioid prescriptions needs to be strengthened to reduce the risk of issuing them unnecessarily, or to put it bluntly, because it's probably high time to do so - for criminal purposes.
In the heat of the discussion about the upcoming rapid revision of the Act on Reimbursement of Medicines, Foodstuffs for Special Dietary Purposes and Medical Devices (commonly referred to as SNUR), it is worthwhile to look at one of the biggest challenges facing the Polish health care system,...

Not a health benefit, not a pharmaceutical service, and the activity will be billed by the National Health Fund starting May 1. Reading the report on the public consultation of the draft regulation on the pilot program, under which women are to gain access to emergency contraception without the...
Some of the providers (102 to be exact) operating within the system of basic hospital health care services have not realized the lump sum in 2023, which results, and in principle should result, in a reduction of this lump sum for the next billing period (2024).
The Ministry of Health does not want to pay for the overdrafts in the hospital lump sum for 2023. In my opinion, there should be a change of approach in this regard as soon as possible. It is primarily in the interest of ... All of Us. The sooner we understand this the better for Us.
Pulse oximeters from a perfume dealer, overpaid - several times over - medical equipment, tens of thousands of zlotys spent on analyses and consultations, contractors without experience. This, in one sentence, is how one can summarize the information that Tuesday's Gazeta Wyborcza reports on the...
