UNHCR and Deloitte report: Financial surplus of the National Health Fund from servicing refugees from Ukraine

As stated in the UNHCR and Deloitte report "Analysis of the impact of refugees from Ukraine on the Polish economy", health care expenses per person for refugees are much lower than for Polish citizens. According to National Health Fund data, the average cost of treatment for a refugee from Ukraine was PLN 694, while for a Polish citizen it was PLN 4,640.

According to analysts, six times lower costs and increasing revenues from contributions translated into the financial surplus of the National Health Fund from servicing Ukrainian citizens, which in 2025 reached PLN 1.8 billion.

An expert in the Deloitte economic analysis team, Dr. Aleksander Łaszek, drew attention to the growing number of doctors from Ukraine. At the end of 2025 it was 2.4%. doctors and 0.8 percent nurses in Poland.
