Speaking on Wednesday, 12 November, at the 5th Military Clinical Hospital with Polyclinic in Kraków, southern Poland, Kosiniak-Kamysz explained that the Medical Legion is intended to build resources and gather expertise that could be crucial in times of crisis.
“This is an invitation for anyone working in healthcare who is not a soldier,” he said.
According to the Ministry of Defence, the Kraków hospital is a rapidly developing facility within Poland’s military healthcare system. It comprises seven clinics, six clinical departments, eleven hospital wards, five diagnostic units, and 31 specialist outpatient clinics, including a dental clinic.
The hospital is undergoing a systematic expansion and modernization programme, aiming to become a major national and international centre for both medical treatment and research.
Thanks to funding from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO), the facility has been equipped with Poland’s second photon-counting CT scanner, which offers highly detailed imaging while using lower radiation doses, enhancing patient safety and diagnostic accuracy.
