Key messages
This is a summary of the key messages emerging from the open-ended responses of the Polish stakeholders surveyed, organized by theme.
01
Need for alignment
A divided picture
- 66.6% of respondents support alignment between national and EU GH Strategies, while 33.3% disagree — reflecting a divided institutional picture among the three Polish respondents.
- Awareness of the EU GH Strategy is uneven: one respondent is well aware, one only to some extent, and one does not know — highlighting the need to strengthen GH knowledge across national institutions.
- Building a shared understanding of GH strategy concepts among national institutions would be a necessary precondition for meaningful and consistent alignment with the EU GH Strategy.
02
Communication and implementation
Broad targets, direct channels
- All 3 respondents (100%) support wider dissemination of the EU GH Strategy. Communication should target governments/ministries, civil society, and academia/corporate sector in equal measure (33.3% each).
- Social media is the unanimously recommended channel (100%). The qualitative feedback also highlights publications, conferences, workshops, and mailing lists as complementary tools.
- To strengthen implementation, respondents emphasise the importance of evaluation, follow-up, and improved communication between EU institutions, national governments, and public partners.
03
National strategy
A definition that is still unclear
- Poland does not have a dedicated national Global Health Strategy. Although one respondent claims a standalone strategy exists, this likely reflects the broader confusion — observed across the survey — between general health plans or sectoral policies and a proper national GH strategy. One respondent correctly says No, one is uncertain.
- Of the two respondents who said there is no or uncertain national GH strategy, neither considered it important to have one (50% No, 50% Don't know) — signalling limited institutional priority for dedicated GH policymaking.
- Existing national health initiatives — "Healthy Future" Strategic Framework (2021–2027), National Health Program (2021–2025), e-Health Development Programme (2022) — address health broadly, but none constitutes a dedicated Global Health strategy.
04
National coordination and key actors
Fragmented mechanisms
- Coordination responses are equally split — 33.3% formal, 33.3% No, 33.3% Don't know — reflecting either limited awareness of existing mechanisms or a genuinely fragmented coordination landscape.
- Key institutions identified include the National Health Fund, Ministry of Health, and Medical Research Agency — a concentrated set within the government/public health sphere, with limited civil society or academic representation.
- Poland does not have a Global Health Ambassador (confirmed by 33.3%, with 66.6% unaware) — a gap that further limits GH coordination capacity at both national and EU level.
