A local PiS councilor underwent surgery at a district hospital in Lubart\u00f3w, Poland, despite the facility having officially suspended its surgical ward from March to September due to staffing and financial issues. <\/p>\n
Andrzej Kardasz, head of the district council representing PiS, was operated on in April at the Lubart\u00f3w district hospital. The case sparked public scrutiny as reports indicate other patients were denied similar access, with the hospital informing the public that the nearest facility performing such procedures was in Lublin.<\/p>\n
The hospital previously suspended its surgical ward between March and September, citing financial instability and significant surgeon shortages.<\/p>\n
When questioned, Andrzej Kardasz declined to provide details, citing the privacy of his health matters. He admitted he was unsure how surgeons were operating at the facility but acknowledged that some specialists were present.<\/p>\n
The Lublin branch of the National Health Fund (NFZ) confirmed it had not processed any claims for services provided at the Lubart\u00f3w facility during the period of the ward’s suspension.<\/p>\n
Hospital director Ewa Ma\u0144dziuk refused to discuss the specific patient, citing medical confidentiality. However, she stated that because the facility operates an emergency department (SOR), it remains legally obligated to provide acute care regardless of the surgical ward’s suspension.<\/p>\n
Polsat News reports suggest that the procedure performed on the councilor did not meet the criteria for an emergency intervention.<\/p>\n
The Lubart\u00f3w case joins a string of recent reports regarding uneven access to medical services in Poland. Earlier instances involved allegations that KO politicians bypassed queues for diagnostic tests at hospitals in \u017bywiec and Warsaw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
