This article is part of the general report presenting results of a survey made on a 1165-person representative sample of the Warsaw adult population. The purpose of the survey was to verify an hypothesis concerning the occurrence of social stratification differentiation of attitudes and behaviours related to illness. In Poland, free public medical care service covers the whole society. Hence we can talk about meeting fundamental health needs if the public access to services of official medical institutions is understood under this term. Thus, in this part of the general analysis of behaviours related to illness we can concentrate on differentiations 'of the second rank'. We mean here differences in the medical services utilizations. How and where Warsaw inhabitants use health care services is shown on the example of one chosen case as well as on the example of various utilizations of services of both out-patients' polyclinics and hospitals. There has been observed the phenomenon of increasing frequency of visiting cooperative and private medical centres alongside with their rising social status. These medical centres are considered in public opinion as 'better' than the state-owned ones.
本文是一份综合报告的一部分，该报告呈现了对1165名华沙成年人口代表性样本进行调查的结果。此次调查的目的是验证一个关于与疾病相关的态度和行为的社会分层差异出现情况的假设。在波兰，免费的公共医疗服务覆盖全社会。因此，如果按照这个术语理解公众对官方医疗机构服务的获取，我们可以说满足了基本的健康需求。所以，在对与疾病相关行为的这部分综合分析中，我们可以专注于“二级”差异。这里我们指的是医疗服务利用方面的差异。华沙居民如何以及在哪里使用医疗保健服务，通过一个选定案例以及门诊综合诊所和医院服务的各种利用情况示例进行展示。已观察到随着合作医疗中心和私立医疗中心社会地位的上升，其就诊频率增加的现象。在公众舆论中，这些医疗中心被认为比国有医疗中心“更好”。
