What are the goals of the authorities of the Polish Alliance of Healthcare Providers Fizjoterapia Plus?

- For me, my priority is to establish partnership relations between the service provider - the National Health Fund and the Ministry of Health. I emphasize: not more partnership, just partnership. The partnership must concern both the financial aspect of contracting and the manner of its implementation. I hope that, as an Understanding, we will actively work to improve quality and standards in this area. We must strengthen Polish physiotherapy. - said Michał Śliwiński.

- I would like the Agreement to seek a satisfactory consensus across divisions. Each of us has a different role and priorities, but in fact we have a common goal that is sometimes so easy to forget in a dispute - to help patients. And it connects us. When we remember this, both service providers and the National Health Fund or the Ministry of Health can speak with one voice. - Adrianna Szuflicka added.
