One doctor, one hospital, one contract - this is how the health minister would model the staffing structure of the public health system. In an ideal world, of course. Because realistically, listening to Izabela Leszczyna develop the idea she put forward earlier this week in an interview, it turns...
Somewhere between the rather absurd discussion around the Law and Justice draft resolution opposing the privatization of health care (rejected) and the even more absurd resolution expressing opposition to "scaring citizens with privatization," an extremely interesting and informative meeting of...
The modern man lives under pressures perhaps unknown to any previous generation. In a world demanding productivity, competition and perfection - his health, both hormonal and reproductive, is sometimes neglected. Unfortunately, it is today that we are seeing a dramatic decline in male fertility...
The second round of the presidential election was won by Karol Nawrocki, supported by the Law and Justice Party. There would not have been this victory had it not been for the electoral votes of the Confederation's two candidates, Slawomir Mentzen and Grzegorz Braun, which shows very clearly...
Rafal Trzaskowski ahead of Karol Nawrocki, Nawrocki ahead of Trzaskowski. The polls, published in the last two nights before the election silence, say virtually nothing except that there will be a near tie. Maybe still that a higher turnout than in the first round will work in favor of the Civic...
22 maja b.r. na stronach Rządowego Centrum Legislacji opublikowano wreszcie długo zapowiadany projekt kolejnej dużej nowelizacji ustawy o refundacji leków, środków spożywczych specjalnego przeznaczenia żywieniowego oraz wyrobów medycznych. Nowelizacja, która miała być najpierw szybka (i dlatego...
Less than two percentage points of Rafal Trzaskowski's lead over Karol Nawrocki, and the powerful result of Slawomir Mentzen and Grzegorz Braun, who were voted for by more than one in five voters, is the pity news for the entire government coalition. Szymon Holownia's runoff ended with a fatal...
"Once the emotions have subsided...", one must realize that the risk of being put to death by a patient is inherent in the medical profession. A doctor deals with sick people, including the mentally ill, who do not have their disorders written on their foreheads and, moreover, very rarely cause...

Knife attack at the hospital. Victim - a doctor. The perpetrator - the patient. A patient dissatisfied with the results of treatment, but this is a very enigmatic and vague statement. A patient who directly accused the doctor of acting to his detriment, injecting him with a substance that...
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...

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...

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...
