Within the first week of the start of payments to patients and their loved ones, the Patient Ombudsman awarded more than one million zlotys from the Medical Event Compensation Fund.

The MPC summarizes the first week of payments to patients and their relatives from the Medical Event Compensation Fund. The amount of benefits awarded since then has already amounted to PLN 1,059,000. In 10 cases, the benefit was given to patients injured by a medical event in the hospital, and in seven cases to relatives in connection with the death of a patient.

- The new out-of-court procedure we are implementing allows us to grant financial support to aggrieved patients and their families without lengthy and costly court proceedings.
