The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has markedly affected the life of people worldwide. In Poland, one of its consequences consisted in new laws being put into force to regulate the provision of healthcare services. This gave rise to much anxiety and concern within the healthcare community, particularly among the specialists in interventional medicine. Taking into account all signals received by the National Consultant, Voivodeship Consultants, as well as the Association of Polish Surgeons and the Polish Chamber of Physicians and Dentists, the new regulations negatively affect the performance of healthcare professionals, e.g. in the context of diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making or activities potentially beneficial for patients not being undertaken. The authors of the article have analyzed the regulations in force in an attempt to bring their interpretation into line with their substance and their objective, as well as to provide comprehensive answers to questions and concerns as raised by interventional surgeons.
COVID-19（冠状病毒病 2019）大流行显著影响了全世界人民的生活。在波兰，其后果之一是实施了新的法律来规范医疗保健服务的提供。这在医疗保健界引起了极大的焦虑和关注，特别是在介入医学专家中。考虑到国家顾问、省顾问收到的所有信号，以及波兰外科医生协会和波兰医师和牙医协会，新法规对医疗保健专业人员的工作产生了负面影响，例如在诊断和治疗决策或对患者可能有益的活动方面不开展。本文作者分析了现行法规，试图使其解释与其实质和目的保持一致，并为介入外科医生提出的问题和关切提供全面的答案。
