Cancer Fighters Foundation medical donations in Poland

Overview

The Cancer Fighters Foundation, a beneficiary of the ‘Diss na raka’ fundraising campaign, has begun distributing funds to pediatric hospitals in Poland.

In Olsztyn, the Provincial Specialist Children's Hospital received one million PLN for projects including a densitometry lab and parent zones. However, a dispute arose between the hospital director, Dr. Krystyna Piskorz-Ogórek, and the foundation regarding the terms of a second agreement for a larger modernization project. The hospital described certain contract provisions as ‘unacceptable’, while the foundation stated the terms are required to protect donor funds.

In Krakow, the foundation donated over 11 million PLN to the University Children's Hospital. These funds are allocated for advanced medical equipment, such as a DNA sequencer, a spectrometer, and a surgical microscope, as well as diagnostics, 3D printing lab equipment, and medical staff training.
