New head of National Health Fund
Tadeusz Jędrzejczyk will be the new president of Poland’s National Health Fund (NFZ), the institution responsible for distributing financing in the country’s health care system.
His candidacy has been chosen by the NFZ’s supervisory board. The official nomination now has to be signed by the prime minister.
Jędrzejczyk is a physician with management experience. He has been head of the Pomorskie regional branch of the NFZ sine October 2013.
Personnel changes at the NFZ started in December last year when president Agnieszka Pachciarz was dismissed following a conflict with Health Minister Bartosz Arłukowicz. Marcin Pakulski was then acting president until February 28, when Wiesława Kłos took over. A competition for the permanent president of the fund was launched in early May.
