How many Poles during the pandemic gave up treatment or had difficulties receiving help? He talked about the effects of this in the program “Onet Rano.” Marcin Jędrychowski, director of the University Hospital in Krakow.
Access to medical care during the coronavirus pandemic
During the pandemic, many patients withdrew from examinations and visits to doctors, others used only telepaths. Unfortunately, remote consultations with a doctor are not always advisable – in some cases a traditional visit is necessary.
– After the second wave of the epidemic, we felt it. Virtually all patients who came to the HED required hospitalization – said Jędrychowski.
– Many civilization diseases have a very fast course. For a person with cancer, diabetes or cardiological problems, a few months of lack of access to care, no surgery, make the situation very difficult. Many people decide not to contact a doctor – the expert alerts.
The director reminded in which cases teleportation is advisable and when it is necessary to attend the visit in person.

Telemedicine is a very effective tool, but not in all cases. When there is a sudden worsening of the disease or a severe body reaction, do not wait and seek help as soon as possible.
On the other hand, online consultations can be useful in the case of prescribing, dispensation, referral or discussing the test results. They also make it possible to consult a specialist doctor even from another part of Poland – without the need to travel.
