– Teleportada cannot be used if this is the first visit to the doctor. We are also introducing the condition that, at the patient’s explicit request, this traditional visit must also take place – announced Adam Niedzielski during the press conference. In practice, this means that if the patient does not consent to a consultation over the phone, he will have to be admitted to a medical facility.
Changes to teleports
– I decided to limit the possibility of teleportation; I will most likely sign an ordinance on this matter on Friday; We have a lot of signals about their abuse, this has consequences for public health – said Minister of Health Adam Niedzielski during the press conference.
What will change? The patient’s personal visit to the facility is to be carried out on a case-by-case basis:
- a child up to 6 years of age (except for the control of the treatment course determined after personal examination)
- a newly enrolled patient at the clinic,
- a patient with a chronic disease where there has been a deterioration or change in symptoms,
- at suspicion of neoplastic disease
- in the absence of consent to teleportation.
— Telepainting is a patient’s right, but the patient may not want to exercise this right and may simply expect a visit in the traditional sense – explained Niedzielski.

The regulation on teleporting will come into force 7 days after it is published in the Journal of Laws, which means it will probably apply from the next weekend.
– As for this upper age limit, we were open to a discussion with the family physicians, who persuaded us not to introduce the upper limit, as well as the lower limit. With children, it was not negotiable. However, in the case of people over 65 years of age, we have abandoned this age limit, but we have introduced a condition that, at the patient’s explicit request, this teleporting will not be used. He will have the right to visit the traditional formula – said the minister.
