Polish medical council: oversight of district hospitals is often fictitious

Jakub Kosikowski, spokesman for Poland's Supreme Medical Council (NIL), told Interia that the Braniewo hospital case exposes a systemic problem: oversight of district and municipal hospitals run by local governments is often illusory. "Doctors do not hold each other accountable," he added. The Braniewo case is seen as emblematic of wider irregularities in locally governed healthcare facilities.
