Public Health and the National Health Programme for 2016-2020

Such state of affairs called for sistematization, and that is why the year 2015 saw the implementation of Public Health Act, which is regarded a “Health Constitution”, defining the directions for improvement in terms of population health in Poland. The Public Health Act obliged the Council of Ministers to issue a regulation containing the National Health Programme (NPZ by its Polish abbreviation), valid from September 2016. It is important to stress that unlike the previous NPZ, the current one, which is valid for the years 2016-2020, details the funding of the tasks carried out as a part of the operational objectives and coordination tasks, and amounts to 140 mln zl annualy.
