  • PL: Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Centre presented its telemedicine project

  • Poland an EU laggard on eHealth

    Poland lags behind the EU average in terms of the use of electronic solutions in healthcare, according to a pan-European survey on eHealth published by the European Commission. The country scores below par on most indicators, including both the availability of ICT infrastructure and its use for health-related purposes by general practitioners (GPs).

    For instance, computers are used in consultations with the patients in just 11% of Polish GP practices, against 66% in the EU. Also, less than three quarters of GP practices in Poland are equipped with a computer, compared to 87% for the EU as a whole. The gap is narrower in terms of internet connectivity but Poland again lags far behind the EU in the percentage of GP clinics with a broadband connection.

  • Poland: e-Poland at the End of e-Europe

    Poland's economic strategy pushes it to the margins of modern Europe.

  • Poland: e-revolution expected in health care
