"In my professional work (as a doctor - ed. note), the most important thing is to be guided by the welfare of patients. The voice of the patients, which was represented by the Councils, is the most important for me, and based on this voice I want to implement the goals of the Ministry of Health," declared Katarzyna Sójka after the meeting, in a post on Twitter.
As the Health Minister stresses, the ministry she heads should conduct a dialogue to jointly seek the best solutions to improve the state, quality and accessibility of health care in Poland.
- The position of the patient in the health care system is crucial and must be strengthened. Only through the involvement of patients and organizations representing them can the right solutions be developed. We depend on their voice," the Health Minister said.
- There were a lot of important votes today. There are issues that can be resolved quickly. Such meetings are important, but even more important are their results. Let's act together, because we are all patients," noted Katarzyna Sójka.
