The epidemiological projection for Poland and the region in 2025/2026

Summary/Abstract: Aim. Anticipate key public-health threats for Poland in 2025/26 amid climate change, intensified mobility of goods and people, migration, rapid ageing and uneven urban–rural change, within the window created by the Year of Health Education & Prevention and the new Civil Protection Act and EU Council presidency.Concept. Integrated One Health surveillance and preparedness linking human, animal and environmental signals (clinical, wastewater, border checks) with coordi- nated risk communication and education across sectors.Results. Climate extremes, zoonotic and food-borne risks (H5N1, Haff disease), rising enteric and nosocomial infections, very low yet monitored COVID-19 activity, post-peak pertussis, stable but persistent HIV/TB burdens, and AI-driven bio- and info-threats; vaccination updates proceed while the new, optional school health-educa- tion course omits critical topics like misinformation and disaster readiness.Cognitive value. Delivers a concise, forward-looking map of intersecting risks, operationalises One Health beyond rhetoric, and pinpoints surveillance, communica- tion and curricular gaps that policymakers and practitioners can address immediately.
