October first marks International Healthcare Workers Day. We wanted to take this opportunity to reiterate how grateful we are for all the work and commitment it takes to pursue a career that focuses on saving lives and helping people get better.

Today we celebrate World Hearing Day, an occasion that is meant to raise awareness of hearing defects, promote preventive healthcare and early diagnostics of hearing defects. We run the most successful and effective Hearing Screening Programme - we've screened 6 529 602 babies since the start of our programme.

This biggest preventive initiative ensures that each child born in Poland has its hearing screened. A simple and painless procedure helps detect hearing defects in children at the earliest stage.

The Foundation has been supporting public medicine in Poland for 25 years, purchasing over 36 thousand pieces of equipment. The estimated worth of this equipment amounts to 720 000 000 PLN.
