If you are entitled to health care under EEA rules on coordination of social security systems during a temporary stay in Poland you are entitled to receive free health care services, necessary on medical grounds, from health care providers who have concluded contracts for health services with the National Health Fund (NFZ).

It is our pleasure to inform that the Carolina Medical Center signed an agreement with the National Heath Fund (NFZ) for medical services provided to the youngest patients.

Bearing in mind that orthopaedic treatment of children differs substantially from the treatment of adults, and most surgeons do not specialize in treating young patients, the Carolina Medical Center decided to grant access to its doctors’ experience in treating children as well as modern equipment to all youngsters requiring orthopedic surgeon’s assistance.

The contract package includes: 

1.  Hospital care

Paediatric surgery and Trauma-orthopaedic surgery departments

2.  Specialist outpatient

Trauma-orthopaedic surgery clinic for children

Paediatric surgery clinic

Sports Medicine Clinic

Magnetic Resonance Laboratory (MRI)

Computed Tomography Laboratory (CAT)

3.  Physiotherapy
