WARSAW - Poland’s ruling nationalists promised on Saturday to raise funding of the health service, another hefty spending pledge in an election campaign where they have sought to position themselves as champions of the welfare state.
“There must be a health service that is universally available and at the same time, which I want to stress forcefully, public,” PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski told a party convention. The party also pledged to build a new oncology center, offer a package of medical check-ups for every Pole, improve care for senior citizens and create a fund for modernizing hospitals.
Earlier in the year, the party announced increased spending on child benefits and transport infrastructure as well as a package of tax cuts.
