The parliament has failed to pass a bill lowering the premium for entrepreneurs. The bill got legislative "breathlessness" in the final straight - all due to the volition of the Confederation and the Law and Justice club, although in fact the spiritus movens was Izabela Leszczyna and her hard...
One in two Poles believes that antibiotics kill viruses just like bacteria. Just as many are convinced that viruses are produced in government laboratories to control our freedom. Slightly fewer - that a cure for cancer exists, but is hidden from the public by commercial interests. Forty-two...
As a doctor with many years of experience in emergency medicine, having been on duty in both the largest hospital east of the Vistula River and in smaller county hospitals, I understand very well the realities of working in the Hospital Emergency Department. I know the time pressure, the constant...
Przed niespełna tygodniem Ministerstwo Zdrowia przedstawiało, podczas posiedzenia sejmowej Komisji Zdrowia, plany zmian w systemie Państwowego Ratownictwa Medycznego. Mówiono, między innymi, o dwuosobowych zespołach RM. Pojawił się też, wywołany przez posłów, temat bezpieczeństwa – ale raczej na...
If I had been asked what subject to add to Polish students I would have just suggested "civil defense."
Work on the next major amendment to the provisions of the Law on Reimbursement of Medicines, Foodstuffs for Special Dietary Purposes and Medical Devices enters another phase: on January 20 this year, information on the project was published in the list of legislative and program work of the...
Wszyscy znamy maksymę „ruch to zdrowie”, która od lat powtarzana jest w środowiskach medycznych, szkołach, a nawet w mediach. Aktywność fizyczna rzeczywiście jest jednym z najważniejszych filarów zdrowego stylu życia – wspiera funkcjonowanie układu sercowo-naczyniowego, wzmacnia mięśnie, poprawia...
Adrenal hyperplasia is a condition of sudden and severe cortisol deficiency that can be immediately life-threatening. It occurs most often in patients with Addison's disease, but can also affect people with secondary or tertiary adrenal insufficiency. Proper preparation and prompt response can...
The laws governing health care in Poland change so frequently that we can also expect at least some significant innovations in pharmaceutical and medical legislation in the new year, 2025.
It was supposed to be mandatory, but will it be? On Sunday afternoon, Deputy Prime Minister and head of the People's Party, Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, otherwise a doctor, announced that health education will enter schools as an optional subject, so all those protesting (under the slogans of...
Actually, it's not transplants but transplants (that's what the procedure is called), and a transplant is just what is transplanted. Well, up to June 2011, 462 autologous i.e. own hematopoietic cell transplants performed to treat multiple sclerosis were reported to the European Society for Blood...
In the flurry of scientific discoveries of the 20th and 21st centuries, few substances have aroused such fascination as irisin, a hormone secreted during exercise. This almost magical molecule, which seems to be the bridge between exercise and health, is opening up new possibilities in...
Long-COVID syndrome, also known as chronic sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, remains a serious clinical challenge. It affects 10-30% of patients, causing persistent symptoms after the acute phase of infection. Among the various disorders seen in Long-COVID, POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardia...
Well, no. A lot has happened and it would take a long time to tell the story. How to measure these thousands of saved human lives? Last year alone, more than 2,000 hematopoietic cell transplants were performed in Poland and there is already a city of people saved by this method. And it just...
Poles are protesting against "health education," thundered one of the publications associated with the right-wing mainstream on Sunday. Poles, or more specifically in this case, participants in a demonstration in Warsaw's Castle Square, which was also attended by Karol Nawrocki, the PiS civic...
Parliament's passage of legislation lowering health premiums for entrepreneurs is almost a foregone conclusion. Will they be signed by the president? Here, the matter is already much more complicated and, at the very least, uncertain (as of today, it can be assumed that Andrzej Duda could be...
The government, contrary to last week's announcements, will not take up the draft amendment to the Law on Health Benefits, which assumes changes in hospitality. When on November 5 the item - extremely important, even fundamental - was not on the agenda of the Council of Ministers (despite the...
The vaccination machine has started, as usual - sluggishly. Since Friday, you can be vaccinated against COVID-19 with an mRNA preparation adapted to the new variants. To "choose" we have only Moderna, unless someone wants to pay - he can use the commercial Pfizer (price of the vaccine not...
The deadline for submitting bids in the competition announced by the Health Ministry, i.e. November 6, 2024, is inexorably approaching, and from the questions asked by hospitals all the time, it seems that both the founding bodies and the hospitals themselves are still considering whether to...
The Health Committee will address on Tuesday the financial situation of the National Health Fund and the prospect of the payer settling its obligations for excess and unlimited services. It's hardly surprising, as anxiety on the part of healthcare providers has begun to grow compulsively in...
It would seem that fatigue is such a temporary condition that can be dealt with after a long day at work or a sleepless night. But what if this fatigue becomes an inseparable companion in life, closing the door to daily joys and simple pleasures? What if every morning brings not the desired...
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...
Do you have a normal TSH and no insulin resistance, but you are increasingly bothered by fatigue, sluggishness, cold intolerance, brain fog and unreasonable weight gain? Be sure to determine your rT3 blood levels!
The SNUR, or the announced rapid amendment to the Reimbursement Law, is not as quick as expected, however; for a finished draft of the law, whose primary purpose is to correct errors and remove the negative effects of last year's major amendment to the Law on Reimbursement of Medicines,...

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...
After the publication of an article reminding the public that the August 15, 2024 deadline for implementing the Standards for the Protection of Minors was looming, a discussion broke out regarding the responsibilities of pharmacies.
Immediately after the vacations, a bill on changes to the contribution from entrepreneurs is expected to reach the Sejm. Finance Minister Andrzej Domanski has already announced, in a framework, what might happen: the obligation to pay premiums on the sale of fixed assets (repeatedly cited, for...
