Investment at the hospital in Gorlice

The hospital in Gorlice is preparing for expansion and modernisation. Millions of złoty have been planned for this purpose, and the works are to cover both the buildings and the facility's equipment (Miliony na rozbudowę i modernizacje szpitala w Gorlicach – rdn.pl).

What will change for patients

The most visible change will be the reconstruction of the outpatient clinics. Patients will gain new rooms, and day-care wards will be created in the hospital, meaning spaces where a patient can stay for a procedure or examination without an overnight hospital stay (Szpital przejdzie dużą przebudowę. Zmienią się poradnie i powstaną sale opieki jednodniowej – portalsamorzadowy.pl).

Costs

10 million PLN has been allocated for the hospital's development. Regional media report millions of złoty for the expansion and modernisation, without a detailed breakdown of the amount.

Why it matters

The modernisation of the facility may mean shorter waiting times for some services and better conditions of stay for residents of Gorlice County. However, the scope of the works is spread over time and requires agreement on the stages of implementation.
