Can a doctor be an influencer? Ola Marianowska answers. Episode 111
Just a decade or so ago, a doctor's presence on social media aroused surprise and sometimes even opposition. Today, it is becoming not only the norm, but actually a necessity.
Parents sound the alarm: polluted air, unhealthy food, lack of exercise. Episode 110
Imagine that every time you go to school with your child starts by walking through a curtain of fumes. That lunch in the school canteen is more a test of sugar and salt tolerance than a lesson in healthy eating. That 'fresh air' has become a term from science books rather than an everyday experience.
8 million smokers in Poland. Who will finally help us quit? Episode 109
A cigarette doesn't scream. It doesn't stagger like alcohol. It doesn't wreak havoc in sudden bursts of aggression. And yet - it is the one that quietly kills over 70,000 Poles a year. Nicotine, although legal and packaged in fashionable sachets or stylish e-cigarettes, is one of the most potent drugs known to science. And although we have known for decades how deadly it can be, Poland is still unable to combat it effectively.

Did you know that thousands of women in Poland have no idea for years that... they are still virgins?

In the latest episode of the podcast Po pierwsze Pacjent, Monika Rachtan talks to Professor Krzysztof Nowosielski - gynaecologist, sexologist and oncologist.

The patient debates are a completely new formula to show the general public a broad perspective related to health issues.
In setting up the debates, we assume that each of us, even if we are currently healthy, may end up on the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway in a short while and should have knowledge of what challenges and problems arise on such a pathway.
In the programme, patients, talking about their experiences, can make professionals aware of how frustrating and confusing the process can be. Experts, on the other hand, discuss current health market issues in an accessible way.
I want the debates to become a platform where issues important not only to professionals, but above all to patients, whose voice is still not sufficiently heard in the healthcare system, are addressed.
Why in Poland are we still collecting money for treatment that should be free?
