'We Don't Want To Die On Our Knees' Protest By The OZPSP In Warsaw

Participants in the protest of the National Association of District Hospital Employers regarding the healthcare situation gather in front of the Ministry of Health on March 3, 2026, in Warsaw, Poland. The National Association of District Hospital Employers (OZPSP) gathers in front of the Ministry of Health to draw attention to the critical financial condition of district hospitals, the underestimated pricing of healthcare services, and the lack of systemic solutions. The National Health Service Section of the NSZZ ''Solidarity'' trade union begins a protest on February 23, opposing plans to freeze employee wage increases and the method of calculating them, the wave of hospital ward closures (including gynecology, obstetrics, and neonatal wards) due to unprofitability resulting from underestimated service pricing by the Agency for Healthcare and Treatment (AOTMiT), and the unfairness of the contribution system. The healthcare system enters 2026 with a deficit of approximately PLN 23 billion under the National Health Fund's financial plan. (Photo by Klaudia Radecka/NurPhoto)
