The aim of the conference was to draw attention to the causes of poor financial situation of public hospitals in Poland. The following subjects were presented:

- What financial consequences for the hospitals result from the fact that costs of stand-by are not taken into account in pricing the services.
- What is the impact of inadequate pricing of services on the financial performance of hospitals.
