Heath care and Insurance
The institution responsible for health care in Poland is the National Health Fund – Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia (NFZ).
To get treatment by a general practitioner you should go to a doctor who has a contract with NFZ and show your European Health Insurance Card or a replacement certificate. To get treatment by a specialist, such as an obstetrician, dentist, dermatologist, venerologist, oncologist, eye specialist or psychiatrist you don’t need a referral. To go to any other specialist you need to go a general practitioner first.
In case of emergency call 999 or 112
