The report that Polish doctors are being sent to Ukraine to allegedly take part in hostilities is not true.

The letter states that Polish doctors will «improve their knowledge, skills and professional competencies» while working in frontline stabilization centers as part of their postgraduate education.

«Doctors, nurses and other medical personnel are on guard for the health of our country’s residents. At such a turbulent time for our country, when there is a war on our borders, we must pay special attention to their training. I am convinced that this initiative will make an invaluable contribution to the development of their professional competencies, so that the life of every Pole in the event of a real threat from Russia is in safe hands. I wish our doctors success in serving their country and personal prosperity,» wrote Adam Nawrocki.
