Doctors
Supreme Medical Chamber: Central Register of Physicians and Dentists
Search a doctor or dentist by name or licence (PWZ) number to check they are entitled to practise.
Clinics
Register of entities performing medical activity (RPWDL)
The government register of healthcare providers: check that the clinic is registered.
Doctors and dentists: Search the doctor or dentist in the Central Register (link above): enter the first name and surname or the PWZ licence number, tick the box accepting the conditions, then search (you can include maiden or previous surnames). The register is updated monthly from the regional chambers and says it cannot guarantee the data are current: if the person is not found, ask for their PWZ number and contact their regional medical chamber (Okręgowa Izba Lekarska).
Is the clinic in the official register of Poland?
Type part of the clinic's name, or the register number, the NIP or the REGON. We answer only whether it is in the Register of Entities Performing Medical Activity (RPWDL, kept by the ministry of health), as of 9 Nov 2026: we never rank or recommend a clinic. Individual doctors' practices are shown with the name abbreviated.

Rules worth knowing
- Complaints about a breach of patients' rights go to the Patient Ombudsman (Rzecznik Praw Pacjenta), whose helpline is 800 190 590 (free in Poland, open 24 hours). From abroad, or if 800 numbers are blocked for you, call +48 22 688 05 00 (at your operator's rate). The Ombudsman's pages do not mention any language other than Polish.
- Dental treatment, Cosmetic surgery, Eye surgery: EU law (Regulation 2017/745, art. 18) requires the health institution to give a patient who has had an implant fitted the device's identification (name, serial and lot number, UDI, model, manufacturer) and an implant card in the patient's name; crowns, fillings, braces, screws and plates are exempt. Ask for it before you leave and keep it with your records.

Cities where many clinics are
Who licenses the clinics in each city, the regional register where there is one, and the airport. We never rank, review or recommend clinics.
