This is an important step towards building a modern and stable healthcare system that responds to the real needs of the region's residents.
The aim of the planned measures is to create a strong and financially stable healthcare provider capable of ensuring comprehensive, high-quality healthcare for residents of Zgorzelec and Bolesławiec counties. Consolidation will enable the rational use of the organisational and material resources of both facilities, while maintaining continuity in the provision of services.
A key premise of the merger is to increase access to healthcare services. Integrating the staff potential and medical infrastructure will make it possible in the coming years to expand the scope of medical activities and shorten waiting times for selected procedures.
– This is a responsible, long-term decision. We are combining the potential of both facilities to provide residents with better access to modern and coordinated healthcare – the local government representatives emphasise.
The consolidation process will be carried out in stages, taking into account organisational, legal and financial analyses. The priority remains the health security of residents and the further development of medical services in the region.
The signed agreement is one of the first examples of this type of cooperation in Poland and may set the direction for further initiatives strengthening the healthcare system at the local level.
