The Polish Sejm has passed government-proposed amendments to the National Oncology Network act, a move designed to reduce administrative bureaucracy for hospitals and streamline cancer care processes for patients. <\/p>\n
In a near-unanimous vote, 436 deputies supported the amendment, with no opposition and 22 abstentions. The legislation now proceeds to the Senate for further consideration.<\/p>\n
The amendment aims to eliminate redundant administrative burdens. Key changes include replacing mandatory, hospital-specific oncology hotlines with the general National Health Fund (NFZ) hotline and extending the timeframe for verifying network facilities from two to three years.<\/p>\n
A central pillar of the reform is the full digitalization of oncology treatment. By the end of 2026, the paper-based DiLO card will be replaced by an electronic version integrated into the national health system, linking cancer service billing directly to digital record-keeping.<\/p>\n
The role of the oncology care coordinator is now officially established as a core hospital function. Furthermore, the organization of multidisciplinary therapeutic teams has been simplified, shifting the responsibility for coordinating councils to smaller hospitals (SOLO I) in cooperation with top-tier centers (SOLO III).<\/p>\n
The National Oncology Network is a cornerstone of the 2020-2030 National Oncology Strategy, backed by a 5.2 billion PLN budget. It is designed to provide comprehensive, standardized cancer care across Poland, regardless of a patient’s place of residence.<\/p>\n
Established in 2023, the system functions across three tiers of regional hospitals (SOLO). The network relies on interdisciplinary teams tasked with unified care coordination and collective treatment planning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
