On March 16, during a meeting of the Tripartite Health Protection Team, representatives from the Ministry of Health, labor unions, and employers discussed potential changes to the healthcare salary law, which included proposals to delay pay increases for medical staff until January 2027. The suggested changes faced significant opposition from medical unions, which argued for broader reforms to the healthcare system rather than just adjustments to salary increases. As a result of the lack of consensus, the Ministry of Health declared that without agreement on the pay increase law, no changes would take place, leading to potential protests against the proposed measures by medical personnel. This situation highlights the ongoing struggle between the government and healthcare professionals over remuneration and systemic reform in Poland's health sector.
