Refunding insulin pumps without restrictions? The Ministry of Health has withdrawn from the controversial amendment

The Polish Ministry of Health has reversed its controversial stance on insulin pump reimbursement for patients over 26 years old, responding to patient organizations and clinicians. Initially, a proposal limited funding to those who had previously received reimbursement, but this has been changed to allow broader access. The new regulations are set to take effect on January 1, 2027, despite concerns from the National Health Fund about financial implications. Insulin pumps significantly improve diabetes management, and the ministry aims to support more patients in need of these devices.
