Polsat NewsIndependentCenterFactual 95Objective 8013 days ago "I told you this would happen". Trzaskowski announces about the hospitalWarsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski announced via social media that politicians no longer sit on the supervisory boards of municipal hospitals in Warsaw. He emphasized this decision was not about questioning individual integrity but about restoring public trust in healthcare. The city did not specify which hospitals or which politicians were removed from their roles. The change follows an investigation by the portal Zero.pl into Dr. Dawid Kacprzyk, a former member of the Civic Coalition (KO) and coordinator of the Surgical Outpatient Clinic at the Southern Hospital. Reports indicated that patients affiliated with KO received preferential treatment, including priority access and comprehensive examinations. Kacprzyk earned over 1.6 million zł in the previous year during his specialization in anesthesiology. Two investigations have been launched against him—one for fraud involving over half a million zł and another for misuse of public office. Kacprzyk resigned from KO and his position as a district councilor, returning part of the money he had received. The mayor has replaced the hospital’s management and supervisory board.
