Combating pseudomedicine and health misinformation
New regulations give the Patient Rights Ombudsman more tools to fight dangerous pseudomedical practices and false health information. Citizens gain better protection against medical fraud, while offenders face high financial penalties.
Key points
Ban on pseudomedical practices: it is illegal to provide health services by unqualified persons and to mislead about treatments for children, cancer, and mental illnesses.
Medical misinformation registry: the Ombudsman will publish a list of entities spreading false health information, and internet providers must redirect users from these sites to a warning page.
Higher penalties: up to PLN 1 million for pseudomedicine and patient rights violations, and up to twenty times the average salary for heads of medical entities.
Faster response to threats: the Ombudsman can order immediate cessation of dangerous practices before the entire proceeding ends.
Transparency of decisions: rulings in violation cases will be published online, making it easier for citizens to verify medical entities.
