The characteristic of institution's activity

„Wojewódzki Szpital Zespolony in Elbląg” (Provincial Integrated Hospital in Elbląg) operates for more than 25 years. We have 23 wards in which there are over 592 beds, including 12 in the Emergency Room.

 We hospitalise more than 40,000 patients every year. Our area of operation includes mainly Warmian-Mazurian Voivodeship and a part of Pomeranian Voivodeship. The Hospital employs about 1500 people, including over 300 doctors and 600 nurses and midwives. Every year we perform about 14,000 surgeries, including almost 2500 cancer operations.

We provide services in the area of inpatient and outpatient health care, first-aid, rescue service, medical transport and also diagnosis of diseases and rehabilitation.

We ensure effective treatment, we care about friendly atmosphere affecting recovery and health care. We also conduct preventive activity.

 The advantages of our hospital are qualified staff and modern diagnostic, medicinal and rehabilitation equipment.

 

The hospital has a heliport for Air Rescue - the only night flights adjusted landing pad in surrounding areas.

The hospital is full of investments

 For additional opportunities of hospital development we reach out for alternative sources of financing, including subsidies from the European Union.

In the years 2004-2014 we completed 8 EU projects worth about 80 million zlotys. Among other things, it allowed to modernize and equip Radiology Department and Emergency Room, to buy new emergency ambulances, preventive check-up equipment and to introduce new information technology systems.

However, the biggest investment in the history of our hospital, realized with the help of EU subsidies, was the construction of modern extension in which we localized the Operating Theater, Department of Anaesthesiology andIntensive Therapy and Central Sterile Supply Depot. The investment worth nearly 58 million zlotys was completed in the jubilee year of the 25^th anniversary of the hospital (in 2013).
