Director of the Military Medical Institute Professor Grzegorz Gelearak stated that the training program will continue until 2029, and the results will be noticeable very soon.

"We have developed a National System for the Training of Medical Personnel. By June next year, we plan to train the first 2,000 workers. We will start with five centers in Poland - in Krakow, Lublin, Warsaw, Gdansk, and Bialystok. The goal is to prepare all personnel by 2029," Gelearak emphasized.
