NFZ cost cuts push waiting times for colonoscopies and MRI scans up by 70%

The surge follows cuts by the National Health Fund (NFZ) to reimbursement rates for these procedures. Experts warn that patients are paying the price for what they call a trial-and-error funding policy, with oncological diagnostics particularly affected.
