WOMEN’S SITUATION ON THE LABOUR MARKET IN THE VISEGRAD REGION (2021)

INCREASED EFFICIENCY AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM (2020)

The aim of this study was to compare selected characteristics of healthcare systems in Poland and various European countries, both in terms of organization and financing, and the health outcomes achieved.

COOPERATION AS THE KEY TO EFFECTIVE HEALTHCARE (2012)
Collaboration between representatives of various medical professions has become the foundation of modern healthcare systems. This is significantly influenced by the development of medical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, and health sciences. For several decades, there has been a shift away from the paternalistic model of healthcare, where the central focus is the needs of medical workers (doctors, nurses, etc.), towards a system where the patient’s well-being and needs are paramount. It seems necessary to implement transparent regulations into the Polish legal system, which would clearly indicate areas of cooperation while respecting the obvious autonomy of each profession.” – Damian Świeczkowski, MSc in Pharmacy, report coordinator.
