The article presents data on associations and foundations active in health care field in Poland, on the basis of a review of research done by Klon/Jawor Association and the Central Statistical Office. The article also applies to the issue of cooperation between NGOs and governmental adminstration in the health area and identifies lacking information that is necessary for better planning of national health policy. In Poland there are about three thousand associations and foundations whose main focus is the health care. In 2010, they accounted for about 7% of all non-governmental organizations. Results of representative nationwide surveys from 2008 and 2010 indicate that the NGO's active in the field of health care have, in most cases, legal form of associations. Almost half of the organizations declared national or international scope of action. Headquarters of most organizations were mainly in the cities, and only, one in twenty in the village. Most organizations were located in the mazowieckie province and a significant fraction of them was in Warsaw itself. Organizations were stood out by a relatively large number of personnel on the background of the entire NGO sector. Half of the organizations employed paid workers, the majority also collaborated with volunteers who were not members of the organization. More than a third of organizations dealt with the rehabilitation, therapy and long-term care, and about 1/3 dealt with prevention, health promotion and education, and blood donations. World Health Organization indicates the need for systematic collection of data about the role of the nongovernmental sector in health. In Poland, legal regulations require the public institutions and organizations to cooperate with NGOs to achieve health objectives. In spite of relevant data on NGOs in the field of health care in Poland, the necessary information to assess their potential are still lacking. Recognition of the capacity and limitations ofNGOs could enable better planning of national health policy.
本文基于克隆/亚沃协会（Klon/Jawor Association）和中央统计局开展的研究综述，介绍了波兰医疗保健领域活跃的协会和基金会的数据。本文还涉及非政府组织（NGO）与政府行政部门在卫生领域的合作问题，并指出了国家卫生政策更好规划所需的缺失信息。在波兰，约有三千个协会和基金会，其主要关注点是医疗保健。2010年，它们约占所有非政府组织的7%。2008年和2010年具有代表性的全国性调查结果表明，活跃于医疗保健领域的非政府组织在大多数情况下具有协会的法律形式。近一半的组织宣称其行动范围为全国性或国际性。大多数组织的总部主要位于城市，只有二十分之一位于乡村。大多数组织位于马佐夫舍省，其中很大一部分位于华沙市。与整个非政府组织部门相比，这些组织的人员数量相对较多。一半的组织雇佣了带薪员工，大多数还与非组织成员的志愿者合作。超过三分之一的组织从事康复、治疗和长期护理工作，约三分之一从事预防、健康促进和教育以及献血工作。世界卫生组织指出有必要系统收集关于非政府部门在卫生领域作用的数据。在波兰，法律法规要求公共机构和组织与非政府组织合作以实现卫生目标。尽管有关于波兰医疗保健领域非政府组织的相关数据，但仍缺乏评估其潜力所需的必要信息。认识到非政府组织的能力和局限性有助于更好地规划国家卫生政策。
