Hello,
I'm an Italian citizen who's about to move to Krakòw for professional reasons. I was wondering which documents are needed for an EU citizen to have access to Polish public health system, in case of necessity. I have a European Health Insurance Card, is it enough?

Hi Alberto,
If you are not moving permanently then the card should be enough, you will have to pay prescription charges of course and these vary depending on the medication.
Be aware that it is quite normal for people go to private doctors to beat the queues, and consultations are not expensive (about £20 where I live).
