About health care in Poland

To reduce the costs of requisite treatments, shorten the waiting time for surgery or take advantage of innovative therapeutic approaches, people from all over the world increasingly decide to use the services of Polish healthcare facilities. When planning a holiday visitors can combine top tourism experiences with healthcare at no extra cost. For example the 60% savings on the cost of paid for dental treatment in the UK covers flights, accommodation and more.

Due to high-quality medical services, trained staff, advanced equipment, convenient settings and affordable prices Poland is among Europe’s most popular countries visited for medical treatments. According to the estimates of the Institute of Research and Development of Medical Tourism, in 2016 approximately 155,000 people went to Poland in search of healthcare services. Dental, spa and beauty treatments were the most popular, but Poland’s full medical tourism offer also includes cardiology, rehabilitation, neurology, bariatrics, ophthalmology, diagnostics, in vitro fertilization and many other specialist treatments.

Owing to its central European location, expanding network of flights and dynamic economic growth Poland has the potential to become Europe’s top medical tourism destination at a time of growing consumer awareness of health issues and new opportunities generated by the globalisation of the medical, wellness and healthcare market.

Polish medical doctors as well as dentists are required to undergo at least one year of internship before they can take the National Medical Exam. After passing this exam, they would then receive their Medicine or Dentistry license. Aside from that, these professionals would then be registered in the Chamber of Physicians and Dentists in Poland (Naczelna Izba Lekarska in Polish),which is mandatory for all Polish health practitioners and is duly recognized by the European Union and other Western countries. A compulsory post graduate system has been recently implemented, and is based on the Continuous Professional Development system currently in use by more prominent European and North American nations.

Costs

Clients from abroad typically save £2,500, making the £60 Ryanair flight look like an incidental cost.Implants that cost around £2,500 in the UK can be had at Polish Clinics for under £1,000, while ceramic veneers are half the £600 UK price.

According to Magdalena Rutkowska, who heads Poland’s medical tourism development programme, which is 75% funded by EU money, around 320,000 people visited the country for treatment in 2012 – of which 42% came for plastic surgery, notably breast implants. A third came to use dentists, while 9% came for obesity-related treatments such as gastric bands, which in Poland typically cost 40% of the €10,000 EU average.

“It amazes me that people can be asked to pay $100,000 for heart bypass surgery in the US, but they can fly nine hours to us, they can have as good or better treatment, and pay just $15,000.”
