New regulations effective March 5 limit access to public healthcare for Ukrainian refugees to only those who are employed and paying health insurance contributions, severely impacting vulnerable individuals.
Starting March 5, Ukrainian refugees in Poland lost access to public healthcare unless they were working and contributing to health insurance, a measure seen as targeting some of the most vulnerable populations. This change disproportionately affects the elderly, those with cancer, and individuals with disabilities, many of whom rely heavily on public health services for ongoing medical treatment.
