"Mr President, in Poland strikes by health workers and the tragic state of the health service are a threat not only to the health, but also to the life of my countrymen. As I have only a minute at my disposal, I would like to give just two examples of a liberal and destructive way of thinking which operates in terms of money and profit.
Since 1989 more than 20 000 doctors have left Poland, and 1 500 specialist doctors left the country in the five months after accession to the EU. Every year we train 2 000 doctors, which means that for over 12 years we have been training doctors for other countries. On top of that, the insatiable and greedy foreign pharmaceutical corporations are consuming more than half of my country’s health budget.
For this reason I appeal to the European Parliament to think about the treatment of healthcare services, about restricting the economic wilfulness of the pharmaceutical monopolies and about changing the way in which the medical profession and health care are seen so that their aim is the health and good of human beings, and not just financial gain and profit, particularly as strikes in health services are also taking place in many other EU Member States."@en1
