Ukrainians contribute more to the Polish healthcare system than they use
The latest report on public finances in Poland provides interesting data on the contribution of Ukrainian citizens to the national healthcare system. The document shows that in 2025, Ukrainians paid significantly more into the system than the costs of their medical treatment amounted to.
According to the calculations presented, the difference in favor of the Polish budget is nearly 1.8 billion zlotys. This amount shows that people who have arrived from Ukraine, who work and pay health insurance contributions, are realistically supporting the financial stability of the Polish healthcare service.
Experts emphasize that this data is significant in the context of the public debate regarding the costs associated with the presence of refugees and immigrants in Poland. The report's findings indicate that the professional activity of Ukrainian citizens translates into concrete benefits for the Polish medical care system.
In summary, the report debunks certain myths regarding the burden placed on the Polish healthcare system by people from Ukraine. Instead of generating additional costs, this group contributes significantly to the financing of public medical facilities, which are used by all residents of Poland.
