Chimeric liver transplant and auxiliary transplantations in patients with extensive liver injury – those two surgical strategies used for the first time in the world by a team from the Medical University of Warsaw were presented at the TTS 2026 Congress in Sydney. Representatives of our university also showed the unique development of the center, combining large-scale transplantation activities with the introduction of innovative treatment methods.

How do you find your way around the university? Who should you turn to for help if needed? What does the Student Government Board do? Older-year students, university authorities, and first-year academic representatives answered these and many other questions during the orientation days, known as “adaptees,” (adaptation students) organized for students beginning their first year of study.

The objective of the visit was to review the cooperation within the EUniWell alliance to date and to discuss prospects for the near future.

“It is not about adding days to life, but life to days,” emphasized Dr Tomasz Dzierżanowski, the Head of the Department of Palliative Medicine WUM, during a conference devoted to contemporary palliative care. Experts discussed how, with modern treatment methods, psychological support, new technologies and the involvement of volunteers, patients may be helped to maintain dignity, independence, and the highest quality of life even when facing a serious illness.

WUM once again joined the organization of the Festival of Science in Warsaw. For the 30th anniversary edition of the event, scientists from the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmacy prepared lectures, workshops and lessons for students, introducing participants to topics related to health, medicine and pharmaceutical sciences.

For the third time, an extremely important event was held at our university – an international conference devoted to building state resilience to emergency situations based on Ukrainian experience. During this conference, experts and decision-makers as well as guests from Ukraine debated on the preparation of local governments and public institutions for the functioning in times of war or migratory pressure. The event attracted a considerable amount of interest, and several hundred people registered to participate.

We celebrated the opening of the modernised and fully-equipped Electrophysiology and Electrotherapy Laboratory, which operates as part of the Department of Internal Medicine, Cardiology and Hypertension at the Mazowiecki Hospital Bródnowski. The department complex serves as the base for the Department and Clinic of Cardiology, Hypertension and Internal Medicine at the Medical University of Warsaw.

WUM joins the group of Polish universities implementing the student e-file – a modern tool that allows management in the form of electronic student documentation. The first stage of digital transformation has already ended and our students can submit administrative requests and track the status of their cases using the my.wum.edu.pl app.
