Rotary supports the hospital in Głuchołazy

Paweł Buczak, RC Warszawa City

On 19 December 2024, four professional hospital beds were formally handed over to SPZOZ ZOZ in Głuchołazy. The meeting, held at the hospital, took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere.[1]

The donation responds to the needs of the hospital, which is dealing with difficulties in the aftermath of flooding. The beds are already in use on a hospital ward, bringing a tangible benefit to patients.

Director Paulina Firlej and Deputy Director for Medical Affairs Zygmuntem Koniecznym expressed their immense gratitude for the beds. Special thanks go to Christofferowi Ingves, President-nominee of RC Warszawa City for 2026–2027, who was the main sponsor of this initiative. Dr Christoffer Ingves is a respected and recognised specialist in plastic surgery and the author of numerous scientific papers. He is a familiar face from TVN Style’s programme ‘Życie bez wstydu’ (2016–2019). Dr Christoffer Ingves is Danish, but has Polish roots.

The meeting also addressed the hospital’s urgent staffing needs. The facility is seeking specialists in psychiatry, medical rehabilitation, cardiology and internal medicine.
