Healthcare in Poland

Checking healthcare entitlement, NFZ insurance and emergency help in Poland.

• Checking access to NFZ healthcare

  NFZ explains access to publicly funded healthcare through compulsory or voluntary insurance and other statutory entitlements. A foreigner’s entitlement depends on the applicable category and circumstances.

• Voluntary health insurance

  If you are not covered through another route, check whether you can enter a voluntary NFZ insurance agreement. The official service explains the conditions, documents, contributions and possible additional charges.

• Emergency help: 112

  In Poland, 112 connects callers to emergency assistance when life, health or safety is at immediate risk. The number is free to call.
