BFF BG: Health care financing should grow by PLN 0.5 bln per year

In order to maintain the current level of available medical services, financing of the healthcare system should increase by PLN 500 million annually, according to a report commissioned by the BFF Banking Group, a leading Italian financial institution for medical companies, active in Poland since 2016. It is the product of demographic changes. The percentage of people aged 65+ in Poland will double (to 34 percent of the entir population) by 2060, while the share of working age population will fall to 52 percent.

In the latest ranking of the Euro Health Consumer Index (EHCI), presenting the level of satisfaction of patients with healthcare in 35 European countries, Poland ranks 32rd. The result of Poland in the EHCI ranking is unsatisfactory not only in comparison with the positions of Western European countries, but also with neighboring countries, such as Slovakia.
