Professor Wojciech Maksymowicz, neurosurgeon and former Minister of Health, was a guest on the program "Jankowski's Point of View." A discussion about private visits and waiting times for the National Health Fund (NFZ) escalated into a heated dispute over how much patients pay for treatment and who benefits from the current system. The professor defended the right to private consultations but agreed with Jankowski that the remuneration of the hospital's supervisory board, as indicated in the conversation, should not be allowed.
