Healthcare in Poland

Healthcare System in Poland

The healthcare in Poland assumes general health insurance system. Polish residents receive health services that are subsidized by the government. However, to receive free healthcare, an individual needs to be insured by a provider that has been contracted with the National Health Fund.

Those that are not satisfied with the general health insurance or opt for more choice are able to utilize the burgeoning private system at their own cost. 

Quality of Healthcare in Poland

Even though there is a lack of JCI accredited facilities throughout Poland, hospitals have other international accreditations like the ISO, Trent and the European Society for Quality in Healthcare.

The medical services provided through clinics and hospitals are equipped with modern equipment and technology equivalent to the standard of Western European countries. Most of these medical facilities are government provided, but some leading private institutions cater to the needs of foreign medical patients.
