Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that the healthcare system requires urgent correction, attributing recent irregularities to flawed systemic solutions and a lack of proper supervision. He is demanding bold legislative proposals to repair the current shortcomings.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister highlighted data regarding medical staff shifts, citing instances of 488 working hours per month in one ambulance station and a doctor working 120 consecutive hours. Tusk warned that such practices significantly impact patient safety.<\/p>\n
Tusk has requested a comprehensive audit by the Supreme Audit Office (NIK) regarding the expenditure of public healthcare funds. He also signaled the need for a serious discussion with the management of the National Health Fund (NFZ) regarding their regulatory oversight.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Health have been tasked with drafting joint recommendations to prevent misuse of public services. The government action follows media reports regarding a specialist doctor who earned 1.6 million PLN in 2025.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Audit Office confirmed it is preparing for an investigation into the employment and compensation of medical personnel, with activities expected to commence in July. The audit will focus on establishing actual remuneration levels and how payment mechanisms function within specific entities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
