Selected legal and ethical principles for the healthcare system in Poland

Summary/Abstract: Although the constitutional right to health care itself has not been subject to legislative changes, the emergence of some other legal regulations and their impact on the current state of the healthcare system justifies additional examination. The authors of the article indicate, among others, areas where the most significant changes to the Polish healthcare system took place in the recent years, and wherever possible, they also assess the current situation. The analysis of the current legal basis of the right to health protection focuses particularly on such important values as: equality in access to health and solidarity, human dignity and patient rights, and professional ethics of person providing benefits.
