Sedentary lifestyle
About 70% of the professionally active people in Poland work mainly in a seated position, which affects our health. Moreover, Poles are one of the least active societies in Europe. We ranked sixth from the bottom among the EU Member States.
Amputations
About 90% of amputations could be avoided with early diagnosis. The healthcare system is inefficient – the average waiting time for vascular surgery clinics is 127.7 days in urgent cases.
Mental health problems among children
Approximately 14% of students in Poland require significant intervention related to their mental functioning.” The research led by the Children Rights Institute shows that high school students surveyed specified that 44% were “fed up with everything” and 49% estimated that they “felt so bad that they didn’t want to do anything.”
Addiction to cigarettes among young people
“About 500 underage boys and girls start smoking every day in Poland.” E-cigarettes are also used to inhale psychoactive substances other than nicotine. What is important, 70% of adolescents who use nicotine have not received any support in quitting the habit.
High alcohol consumption
Alcohol consumption is a unique risk factor for population health as it affects the risks of many deseases and injuries (both intentional and unintentional). In many of today’s societies, alcoholic beverages are a routine part of the social landscape for many in the population. The average alcohol consumption in Poland is higher than in Europe.

Highlight
We started the program with a slight delay. During one week we made our best and prepared opportunity cards, technology cards, stakeholder maps, applications for going abroad and an introduction video. This test showed that together we could move mountains. We can’t wait to see the final results of our work.
