Polish hospital directors protest as health minister skips meeting

Hundreds of hospital directors and mayors gathered in Warsaw to confront the Health Minister over unresolved issues, but the minister sent a deputy instead, prompting accusations of self-sabotage. A contentious demand for 400 PLN per hour of work was labeled immoral, highlighting deep friction between healthcare administrators and the ministry. The no-show signals a breakdown in communication that could escalate into broader healthcare sector unrest.
