Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has requested the Supreme Audit Office (NIK) investigate the earnings of doctors following recent media reports detailing high incomes within the public healthcare system. The move comes as a direct response to public discussion surrounding substantial salaries earned by some medical professionals. Tusk stated the audit will focus on areas where public funds are allocated to healthcare. He characterized the system as “degenerate” prompting the need for increased oversight. The audit aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the distribution of public healthcare resources. The scope of the investigation will encompass financial flows related to doctors’ compensation. Further details regarding the audit’s timeline and specific focus areas are expected to be announced by NIK.
