Poznań medical clinic faces investigation over alleged VIP queue

A former employee of the Poznań Specialist Medical Services Center, Małgorzata Rakowska, has filed a notification with the District Prosecutor's Office in Poznań regarding alleged irregularities at the clinic. Rakowska claims that an unofficial ‘VIP queue’ existed, allowing influential city officials to bypass standard registration and receive medical appointments much faster than other residents through a dedicated patient service representative.

Rakowska alleges that an unidentified individual serving as a Deputy Mayor of Poznań used their position to secure preferential treatment for a family member. She also reported concerns regarding the use of civil law contracts instead of standard employment contracts. Following her allegations, the clinic's management filed a notification against Rakowska, claiming she attempted to compromise city authorities by falsely labeling certain patients as ‘VIP’.

Rakowska maintains she was dismissed from her position in retaliation for exposing these practices.
