Polish "prescription machine" clinic fined 126,000 PLN for issuing prescriptions without examinations

A court upheld a 126,000 PLN fine imposed by Poland's Patient Rights Ombudsman on a clinic whose doctors issued prescriptions for addictive medications without physically examining patients. The facility operated as a so-called "prescription machine," dispensing online prescriptions en masse. The ruling confirms a serious breach of patient rights and medical practice standards.
