Failure to cancel medical appointments is a problem that seriously impacts the functioning of the healthcare system. What solutions does Europe use to limit this problem?

At the request of the initiator of the #odwoluje #nieblokuje campaign – CMKP Medical Center, a legal opinion analyzing European practices counteracting this phenomenon was prepared by the Managing Partner of Jabłoński Koźmiński & Partners Law Firm, dr. hab. Krzysztof Koźmiński, Prof. UW.

Should Poland follow Germany’s example and introduce fees for uncancelled visits, or would the Romanian model, based on temporary restrictions on service access, be a better solution?

We encourage you to read the article titled “The Nightmare of Poland is the Nightmare of All of Europe. Several countries have already introduced punitive fees for failing to cancel medical appointments,” [PL: “Zmora Polski zmorą całej Europy. Kilka krajów już wprowadziło karne opłaty za nieodwołanie wizyt u lekarza”], which was posted on the website rynekzdrowia.pl.
