Hope or experience?

The Minister of Health is not elected to the European Parliament. Izabela Leszczyna has confirmed this in public statements for days, and there is not the slightest reason not to believe her.

One hundred days and what's next?

The well of the government is over, the frenzy was not - certainly not in health care. But let's agree, this caesura is completely artificial, what can be done for a hundred days, especially when most of this time has to be spent firstly on learning the system, secondly - on defusing the...

Covid shopping. Something here smells

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...

Two words are enough for a wise head

Did the previous government devastate the medical education system? Voices are coming from the academic medical school community that of course - yes. What's more, assurances have been heard for weeks that KRAUM has protested loudly and emphatically against the decisions made by the ministers of...

Vaccination: one would like great things....

... and here reality squawks. This colloquial version of Stanislaw Wyspianski's words ("So that our hearts would laugh to great, great things. And here commonness squawks ...") perfectly describes the current situation in the sensitive area of public health quite accurately.

The record is not the issue here

More than 175 million zlotys - this is the amount that ended the day of the 32nd Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. What the final sum will be, we'll find out in a few weeks, and there's really no need to divagate whether a record will be broken. Because, after all, that's not...

The distaste remains

The Medical Research Agency will survive, but it will have to change - this is the conclusion after Tuesday's meeting of the Health Committee (meeting adjourned, will continue next week). How deep the changes will be and - above all - whether they will go in the right direction, time will tell.

ABM on first fire

The Parliamentary Health Committee this week will face its first (of a long list) "investigative" topic, taking the Medical Research Agency under the magnifying glass. An agency against which, already at the stage of legislative work in 2019, the then opposition had numerous objections, and...

2024: The Olympics will be. And the bread?

Looking at the work schedule of the Health Committee - there will be no boredom. Several meetings are scheduled for January alone, the topics of which will heat up public opinion. No topic works on the imagination like the way public funds are spent. Optimally - by political opponents. So, first...

In search of lost vaccines

- You should not say anything about medicines. Because of your decisions, I now have to look all over the world for vaccines," Health Minister Izabela Leszczyna said during the debate on next year's draft budget toward Law and Justice deputies. At the same time, the head of the Health Ministry...

To whom the slot, to whom the rod?

On the night of December 5-6, when good children are asleep, Santa Claus puts their long-awaited gifts in their shoes, socks - or just lays them by the bedside, depending on the region of Poland and the size of the packages. But it's not just children who will be waiting for a surprise on Santa...

This is no time to cry over a spilled vaccine....

On December 6, booster vaccinations against COVID-19 will start in Poland, which is good news. It would be, if it weren't for all the others regarding these vaccinations, which are coming in parallel and effectively dampen optimism.

OECD: nad Wisłą bez zmian

6,7 proc. PKB – tyle, łącznie, Polska wydawała na zdrowie w 2022 roku. Średnia dla krajów OECD, jak wynika z najnowszego raportu „Health at a Glance” to 9,2 proc. W latach 2020-2021 wydatki związane z ochroną zdrowia w krajach wysokorozwiniętych eksplodowały, w 2022 roku wystąpił natomiast...

There is a coalition agreement, solemnly signed by the leaders of the groupings that make up the democratic opposition - as early as Monday the vote in the Sejm is expected to confirm that it is a parliamentary majority. However, there was a stumbling block in the final straight: the Together...

Idzie nowe… po staremu

Kto pokieruje Ministerstwem Zdrowia w najbliższych latach? Czy zwycięstwo Koalicji Obywatelskiej oznacza powrót Bartosza Arłukowicza? A może lider ludowców widzi siebie na fotelu ministra zdrowia i wicepremiera. Dwa razy – nie. Łatwiej jest w tej chwili powiedzieć, kto – raczej na pewno – nie...

What will the election bring to health?

Sensationalism on the lists and steady stagnation in the programs - this is how the offer for health from political groups could be summarized in the shortest way. At least the two main ones that have held the political scene in a clinch for almost two decades. And nothing augurs a quick...

Delay is subject to change

Not on September 12, but in mid-November, we will learn - probably - the results of the work of the team appointed in May by the Minister of Health to prepare rules for terminating pregnancies due to threats to a woman's health and life. The Health Minister signed an amendment to the order on the...

Parallel worlds

Never before has the health care system been so financially valued, argues Health Minister Adam Niedzielski, promising "on an annual basis" 15 billion zlotys of "additional money" to cover the higher operating costs of medical entities, including in connection with the next round of increases, or...
