"Drug reimbursement is a patient's privilege, not a doctor's duty for which he can be severely punished. Bringing normality in this area is one of the most important tasks of the current term. The team will work on practical and easy-to-apply solutions." - Marcin Karolewski emphasizes.
Striving for simplification and efficiency
The NRL is emphasizing cooperation with doctors and the Ministry of Health so that the ICT system meets the expectations of the medical community. It plans to provide an opinion on the list of 4,700 medicines and improve the supporting questions, which is expected to reduce bureaucracy and improve the availability of medicines for patients.
