Poland healthcare and social security trends

Overview

Reports indicate complex economic and social dynamics regarding healthcare and social security in Poland. Data from Deloitte and UNHCR highlights a disparity in National Health Fund (NFZ) spending, noting that in 2025, the average cost to treat a Ukrainian citizen was 694 PLN, compared to 4,640 PLN for a Polish citizen. However, health insurance contributions from Ukrainian residents resulted in a 2.8 billion PLN surplus for the NFZ in 2025, up from 1.2 billion PLN in 2022. Additionally, a trend of dental tourism has emerged, with Polish citizens traveling to Ukraine for more affordable procedures.

Regarding domestic social and medical support, the ZUS provides caregiver allowances for those looking after sick children or family members. In the healthcare sector, the NFZ covers specific services such as free orthodontic treatment for children under 12 and partial or complete dentures for seniors meeting certain criteria. Furthermore, regional programs like ‘Tele-KTG’ in the Pomeranian Voivodeship have been implemented to allow high-risk pregnant women to perform remote fetal heart rate monitoring from home.
