The court announced the bankruptcy of the Municipal Hospital in Miastko

On September 30, at a closed session, the 6th Commercial Division of the District Court Gdańsk-Północ announced the bankruptcy of the Municipal Hospital in Miastko. Dominika Bączek, a restructuring advisor who previously served as a temporary court supervisor, was appointed as the receiver. Creditors have until October 30 to submit their claims.

Debts worth millions and no possibility of further financing

For years, the hospital had been struggling with growing debt, which exceeded PLN 40 million. The Miastko commune, which is the sole owner of the facility, was unable to continue financing it.

At the beginning of August, the hospital ceased its medical activities, and contracts with the National Health Fund expired by operation of law. Mayor of Miastko, Jerzy Wójtowicz, emphasized that the decision to file bankruptcy was difficult, but necessary to sort out the situation.

Scandal surrounding treatment settlements. The prosecutor's office is conducting an investigation

A fine of PLN 13.2 million was imposed on the hospital for irregularities in the settlement of thermolesion procedures performed by a company of neurosurgeons in 2024-2025. The National Health Fund's inspection showed that complicated surgeries were entered in the medical records, while in fact quick procedures lasting several minutes were performed.

Irregularities may concern up to 2.5 thousand cases. The case is being handled by the District Prosecutor's Office in Słupsk.

Employees without jobs, patients without hospitals

Before the bankruptcy was announced, the hospital's president and the supervisory board resigned. The collective layoffs will cover approximately 180 employees employed under employment contracts. Patients requiring hospitalization are directed to hospitals in Bytów, Kościerzyna, Chojnice, Słupsk and Człuchów - the nearest one is 43 kilometers away.
