Healthcare prevention during inflation.

It is not a secret that the healthcare sector is facing numerous problems, especially of a financial nature. Over the past few years, the prevention segment has been particularly affected. This is evident in the number of healthcare policy programs submitted to the Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Tariffication.

Local governments are struggling with limited resources for preventive healthcare. This situation can have a negative impact on the health and well-being of patients. Superficial savings on preventive examinations can later result in the need for invasive and expensive surgeries. The lack of sufficient funds for prevention is one of the consequenc...

State Forests are buying land for new plantations.

When it comes to the valuation of land to be resold, many aspects have an influence, including the area, shape of the plot, its location, and the tree species growing on it. An important element i...

Green light for photovoltaics on residential buildings.

Micro-RES installations as an opportunity for lower bills in apartment buildings The establishment of the tenant prosumer institution will facilitate the construction of micro-RES installations in multi-family buildings and allow for the appropriate benefits. Previously, this was included in single-family law. Both residents and community managements will be able to apply for prosumer status.

The application will help in finding a shelter.

The difficult situation across the eastern border and the lack of widespread information regarding the location of shelters have become the driving force for the government to create the "Shelters" application. Temporary refuge places vs. shelters - the main difference The name may be somewhat misleading in a technical context. Most of the indicated places will primarily meet the conditions qualifying them as temporary refuge places (TRP). By definition, shelters, in addition to providing protection against possible direct actions of conventional weapons, should be insulated from external factors such as radiation or chemical weapons. This means that, for example, they should have their own air filtration system inside the facility. The purpose of temporary refuge places is primari...
