Quality law was a threat to Poles

The Health Ministry's version of the bill (which assumes, among other things: the introduction of a mandatory authorization requirement for health care providers providing publicly funded health care services, and a mandatory internal quality and safety management system - i.e. a system for monitoring so-called adverse events), financial and criminal threats - raised strong objections from the very beginning from the medical community. According to medics - the government project is nothing more than the creation of a system of self-reporting not only of staff, but of everyone on everyone, as well as the disclosure of sensitive data.
- In this form, the law was unacceptable! It posed a threat to the standards for the safe practice of the medical profession, i.e. to the fluidity of treatment, the result of which could be the paralysis (organizational, legal and financial) of the entire health care system. Fortunately, patients and medics can breathe a sigh of relief. During the vote to override the Senate veto, the flagship bill of the current Health Ministry leadership was rejected. In our opinion, the preparation of a "quality law" requires extensive cooperation with medical self-governments and health care organizations. Only this can provide a guarantee of safe treatment for patients ," comments Bozena Janicka.
