Poland: Health System Review.

This analysis of the Polish health system reviews recent developments in organization and governance, health financing, health care provision, health reforms and health system performance. In late 2017, the Polish government committed to increase the share of public expenditures on health to 6% of GDP by 2024. If the GDP continues to grow in the years to come, this will present an opportunity to tackle mounting health challenges such as socioeconomic inequalities in health, high rates of obesity, rising burden of mental disorders and population ageing that put strain on health care resources.

Institutional analysis of health promotion for older people in Europe - concept and research tool.

The relationship between health care and mass media in Polish law.

The purpose of this presentation is to analyse the relations between: medical professionals (physicians, nurses, pharmacists) and health institutions (their managers), and, press and other media, from the point of view of Polish law. In this respect the medical professional or institution is situated between health law and press law--sometimes without realising the common problems of both, such as the problem of access to information versus personal privacy or the question related to medicine-press contacts in the advertising of professionals, institutions and pharmaceuticals. In this paper I shall attempt to examine the interdisciplinary areas of current Polish law.
