Abstract

The century preceding the social processes of transformation in Poland in the 1990s prompted via new state and church legislation the creation and equal functioning of public and private health care facilities, including those run by church bodies.  The reactivated Church institution, Caritas, along with the Diocesan Caritas of Plock, brought to life new forms of care for the sick and those in need of medical care and their families. The health care crisis in Poland, as it were, forced the genesis of such activities.
