The president's advisor warns against increasing the powers of the head of the National Health Fund. "He can do anything"

In an interview, a presidential advisor expressed concerns about proposed healthcare reforms being discussed in the Senate. Professor Piotr Czauderna warned that the changes could lead to a significant staffing crisis, particularly due to the requirement for rare specialty doctors to hold permanent positions. He noted that this could result in the closure of certain hospital departments not due to lack of need, but inability to find qualified personnel. Additionally, he cautioned against increasing the powers of the National Health Fund (NFZ) president, suggesting it could lead to arbitrary decision-making regarding healthcare professionals. Czauderna highlighted the broad scope of potential infractions included in the reforms, which could encompass various administrative errors, raising concerns about the implications for doctors' rights.
