-This is a wonderful, long awaited moment, beginning a new era in the history of the Infant Jesus Clinical Hospital of the University Clinical Center MUW. The agreement enables the revitalization of our historic Lindley campus, located in the heart of Warsaw. The cradle of our University, because the hospital in this location has existed since 1901, will meet the requirements for hospitals in the twenty-first century after the investment. Above all, it will benefit patients who can be treated in decent conditions. This is great news for the hospital staff, who will not only be able to help patients in areas that meet all the requirements of modern medicine, but also to educate the next generation of medical staff. Students also have reasons to be happy, because they will learn not only from the best academic teachers but also in a modern campus, says Prof. Zbigniew Gaciong, Rector of the Medical University of Warsaw.
-It is difficult to describe the emotions that accompany me as the Vice Rector for Clinical Affairs and Investments, but most of all as a surgeon and transplantologist working in this hospital every day. This is a fulfillment of our dreams, that the hospital, in which every year we help hundreds of thousands of patients and perform pioneering procedures not only in Europe but also in the world, could be revitalized. A new hospital building will be constructed and existing infrastructure will be rebuilt. One of the flagship results of the planned investment is the creation of the Transplantation Center, which will consolidate transplantation services within UCC MUW," says Prof. Wojciech Lisik, Vice Rector for Clinical Affairs and Investments at MUW.
-We are happy that our hospital receives such a large subsidy allowing it to move from the really difficult realities of the current daily operation to the level that should be met by a hospital with third degree of referentiality. We have a fantastic world-class team, now it's time for the infrastructure to match the level of medicine we offer. We would like to thank the Ministry of Health, headed by Minister Adam Niedzielski, for understanding the difficult situation of our institution and for the huge investment in the future of the Infant Jesus Clinical Hospital UCC MUW," says Anna Łukasik, director of UCC MUW.
The investment, which includes the construction of a new hospital building and the reconstruction of the existing infrastructure, will allow to increase the availability of health services provided. At the same time, the quality of these services will improve due to the introduction of modern diagnostic and treatment methods as well as the improvement of the conditions in which they are provided. There will also be a reduction in the length of the patient's hospital stay and the health outcomes achieved will be better.
Proper conditions will be created for the implementation of modern and effective highly specialized treatment, thanks to the construction of a new facility, modernization of the existing infrastructure and the use of state-of-the-art medical equipment. This will help to achieve a better diagnostic and therapeutic outcome for patients. There will be an increase in the comprehensiveness of health care services provided by centralizing the activities of a team of outstanding specialists and medical functions in a single facility, allowing for even more efficient delivery of appropriate and comprehensive treatment.
A modern base will be created for the implementation of students, trainees and residents education, as well as for increasing the competence of the university's scientific and didactic staff. Thanks to the expansion and modernization of the hospital, future medical staff will have the opportunity to learn from the most eminent specialists, in modern conditions and using the most modern equipment.
Every year, more than 27 thousand patients are hospitalized in the departments of the Infant Jesus Clinical Hospital, which employs 1825 people, the bed base is 467 places, and nearly 230 thousand consultations are provided in specialist clinics.
