The results were overwhelming, with 2,907 participants\u201488.49 percent\u2014rating the system&#8217;s performance as negative. Only 245 respondents, representing 7.46 percent, expressed a positive view, while 133 people remained undecided.<\/p>\n<p>The survey, which collected 3,285 total votes as of June 26, 2026, follows the case of Dawid Kacprzyk, a former emergency department coordinator at the Southern Hospital. Reports allege that an unofficial patient intake path was created for Civic Coalition politicians and their relatives, leading to Kacprzyk\u2019s resignation, his termination from the hospital, and the dismissal of the facility&#8217;s management board by Warsaw authorities.<\/p>\n<h4>Former surgeon alleges procedural irregularities<\/h4>\n<p>On June 23, Emil J\u0119drzejewski, the former head of surgery at the Southern Hospital, spoke on Kana\u0142 Zero regarding alleged irregularities at the facility. He claimed that the organization of the emergency department and the execution of medical procedures were flawed, resulting in some patients being left without proper care for extended periods.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Dorota \u0141oboda, spokesperson for the Civic Coalition parliamentary club, stated on TVP Info that she was shocked by the revelations. She announced that inspections would be conducted to verify if patients were admitted according to medical triage protocols and confirmed that medical documentation is likely already secured.<\/p>\n<h4>Prosecutorial investigation underway<\/h4>\n<p>The Ministry of Justice and Prosecutor General Waldemar \u017burek have initiated a formal response to these claims. \u017burek announced that Emil J\u0119drzejewski will be summoned for questioning to gather information regarding potential medical errors and facility mismanagement.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation includes plans to secure all evidence mentioned by the physician and a re-analysis of past cases involving patient deaths at the hospital. If evidence emerges that these concerns were previously reported to municipal authorities, prosecutors may also examine the involvement of Warsaw Mayor Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following allegations of preferential treatment for politicians at Warsaw&#8217;s Southern Hospital, a new survey reveals that nearly 90 percent of readers view the nation\u2019s public healthcare system negatively.
