The President of the Supreme Medical Chamber has announced plans to challenge a new law linking physician earnings to PESEL numbers in European courts, citing concerns over political exploitation of data. <\/p>\n
\u0141ukasz Jankowski, President of the Supreme Medical Chamber, stated on June 26 that the organization will fight to repeal the recently passed legislation. He warned that if the President signs the bill, the Chamber will pursue legal recourse through European tribunals.<\/p>\n
Jankowski cautioned against the political weaponization of private financial data, referencing the scandal involving former Health Minister Adam Niedzielski. He expressed a desire to meet with Prime Minister Donald Tusk to advocate for a unified position between medical professionals and the government.<\/p>\n
On June 19, the Sejm passed a law requiring the aggregation of medical salary data with personal identification numbers. While the Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Tariff System currently monitors earnings, the data remains anonymized, preventing the identification of total income across multiple employment sources.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Donald Tusk defended the policy on June 16, arguing that transparency is necessary to address public suspicion. He specifically pointed to reports of a resident physician without a specialization earning nearly two million zlotys as a point of significant public concern.<\/p>\n
The push for salary transparency follows a scandal involving Dawid Kacprzyk, a doctor and former local politician associated with the Civic Coalition. Investigations revealed that Kacprzyk allegedly established an unofficial admission pathway for politicians at the Warsaw Southern Hospital’s emergency department.<\/p>\n
Public scrutiny intensified after it was discovered that Kacprzyk declared 1.6 million zlotys in earnings from his work at the public hospital, sparking national debate over the transparency of payments to medical staff in the public health sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
