Best Health Insurance in Poland
8 insurers ranked and reviewed ยท Updated May 2026
Healthcare System Overview
Poland has a mandatory public health insurance system through the National Health Fund (NFZ), funded by compulsory contributions (9% of income). All employed residents and their families are covered. However, long waiting times in the public system have driven rapid growth in private healthcare. Over 5.39 million Poles had private health coverage by end of 2024, primarily through employer-sponsored subscription plans (pakiety medyczne) rather than traditional insurance policies.
