Realizacja świadczeń w zakresie lecznictwa uzdrowiskowego dzieci w Polsce (ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem województwa dolnośląskiego)
Implementation of services within the scope of health resort treatment of children in Poland (with a special focus of Lower Silesia voivodeship)

Summary/Abstract: This paper concentrates on the problem of marginalisation of the role of sanatorium and health resort treatment of children in the health care system. In the face of children’s health problems such as: diabetes, obesity, allergies, orthopaedic and injury diseases, the respiratory system diseases, the nervous system diseases and cardiovascular diseases, resources spent on the health resort treatment of children are being increasingly reduced. While the number of health services within the scope of health resort treatment in Poland contracted out by the National Health Fund is decreasing, at the same time a certain number of service providers which have so far specialized in this kind of services are resigning from their activity. This article, describing the extent of the undergoing changes, also points out their most important causes as well as possible consequences.
