The President of the Personal Data Protection Office, Miros\u0142aw Wr\u00f3blewski, has announced an investigation into the Southern Hospital in Warsaw following serious allegations regarding illegal audio surveillance and systemic medical malpractice. <\/p>\n
Miros\u0142aw Wr\u00f3blewski, President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), announced on Wednesday, June 24, that the institution will inspect data protection measures at the Southern Hospital. The decision follows reports from Kana\u0142 Zero regarding alleged GDPR violations.<\/p>\n
TV Republika previously reported that the hospital\u2019s camera system was equipped with high-sensitivity microphones capable of recording whispers, including potential conversations in operating rooms, which the outlet described as illegal surveillance.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, former Southern Hospital employee Dr. Emil J\u0119drzejewski alleged in an interview with Kana\u0142 Zero that medical procedures at the emergency department were performed improperly, resulting in complications and, in some cases, patient fatalities.<\/p>\n
The interview followed a June 15 report stating that Dawid Kacprzyk, while serving as the hospital\u2019s emergency department coordinator and a local councillor, allegedly earned 1.6 million PLN in medical facilities last year. Reports also suggested that Coalition Omitted (KO) politicians were admitted without queues for comprehensive examinations.<\/p>\n
The current department head, Dr. Piotr Szenk, denied these claims, stating he has observed no such practices and that the department functioned correctly. He emphasized that operational management was handled by Dr. Adam Macech.<\/p>\n
Two investigations were launched on Monday concerning the hospital: one regarding fraud exceeding half a million PLN and another involving the abuse of authority by a public official, specifically regarding triage procedures.<\/p>\n
Dawid Kacprzyk resigned from his membership in the KO party and his council seat. He also returned 500,000 PLN to the hospital, which the facility had previously paid him but could not account for. Warsaw\u2019s mayor has since dismissed the hospital’s management board and supervisory council.<\/p>\n
Beyond municipal and prosecutor oversight, the Ministry of Health has ordered inspections at the Southern Hospital and the Mazovian Br\u00f3dnowski Hospital. Media reports indicate Kacprzyk also worked at the Br\u00f3dnowski facility, allegedly logging 732 hours in 125 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
