The Supreme Chamber of Physicians and Dentists published a post online in response to Donald Tusk's statement: "We are concerned that the Prime Minister is simply not informed about the real situation in the Polish healthcare system."
The Supreme Medical Chamber issued a statement addressing Donald Tusk's Friday statement. Medics are raising the alarm about the difficult situation in the healthcare system.
The Supreme Medical Chamber on Saturday upheld the report that hospitals are turning away cancer patients. This follows comments by Donald Tusk, who on Friday accused the report of a lie. The Chamber interpreted the Prime Minister's statement as evidence that the head of government is not being informed about the real situation.
"We hope that the Prime Minister's statement that this will not happen will actually mean that no patient in Poland will have to wait so long to be included in the oncology drug program."
This is playing with seriously ill people, a political game – that's how the Polish Prime Minister reacted just a few hours ago to reports of cancer patients being turned away from hospitals. Donald Tusk assured that such situations are not happening anywhere and that the government is monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis. Now, the Supreme Medical Chamber has addressed the matter, admitting: the scale is not large, but not zero.
