The Patient Ombudsman has appointed more experts to the Medical Event Compensation Fund Benefits Team. The group already includes nearly 70 people. A questionnaire has also been launched on the Ombudsman's website to help check whether compensation can be expected in a given case.

Another 25 experts have joined the Ombudsman's Team. These include doctors, midwives and nurses. The Team's task is to issue medical opinions that assist the Ombudsman in evaluating applications for compensation from the Fund. Under the procedure available since September 6 of this year, obtaining compensation does not require proving the hospital's fault. What matters is whether the patient's injury or death could have been avoided. The procedure before the Ombudsman is simplified and provides a number of facilities for patients.
- We have received more than 60 applications to date. Our Compensation Benefits Department is working on them on an ongoing basis. The fund covers damages that occurred after September 6, 2023. It also covers earlier events, as long as the patient became aware of it after September 6. I encourage anyone wishing to take advantage of the Fund's support to check whether they are eligible for compensation in a particular case. This can be done by filling out a short, simple, anonymous questionnaire on our website," emphasized Patient Ombudsman Bartlomiej Chmielowiec.
