The Prime Minister spoke about the health programme prepared by the ruling coalition at a meeting at the University Children’s Hospital of Cracow (UCH).

He announced that over the next six years the government plans to increase spending on health care to 7 pct of GDP. He explained that this is to be accompanied by work on the entire network of hospitals, which would draw on the knowledge of academic centres educating doctors in Poland.
